Excuse me if I'm being stupid but is there a way of forcing Automate run each task one by one?

We have multiple tasks that use the same software on the one box, although it can run multiple instances I've a feeling it's causing us some problems / instability.

I want it to run each task in order of triggered event if that makes sense?

Thanks

There are two ways to cause AutoMate to run tasks one at a time.

Method 1: Use a "master task" containing multiple "Start Task" steps. Each step would start the sub-task that should be isolated from the other. Using this method, as an example, Step two (which runs task 2) would only start after step one (which runs task one) runs successfully.

Method 2: Use the Priority feature in the Task properties to control whether a task must run alone or not on the system and what should happen if there is a conflict.

My thoughts would be to work in reverse.

1st - Check your system options to reduce the number of concurrent tasks that can run at the same time (I.E. Set this to one).

2nd - Set the priorities on the tasks themselves to run alone

3rd - Use a master task to control when/how each task runs, assuming that they are similar in nature.
