Superordinate Tasks (Parents)

Objects can be activated in various ways with the originator of the activation being referred to as the superordinate task or parent.

Script elements are available that can be used to retrieve information about task parents. For details see Script Elements - Ordered by Function .

There are two types of object activation:

Object settings

In almost all objects, you can configure values that can change during runtime (duration of runtime, status, result, ...). Therefore, objects can be started from particular points if their values deviate from specified values.
