How to turn on Shared-Service Job Gating for Job Tasks

Turn on Shared-Service Job Gating so a Job Task only waits on earlier tasks that share its service, not every task in the sequence.

Overview

A Job Task Type is assigned once per job, not once per service (see How to Create a Workflow Task in the Task Builder), so by default its sequence numbers apply across the whole job.

Example: Sequence #1 has Edit Photos and Edit Video; Sequence #2 has QC Photos and QC Video.

  • Off (default): QC Photos waits for both Edit Photos and Edit Video, even though it only shares a service with Edit Photos.

  • On: QC Photos unlocks as soon as Edit Photos is done, regardless of Edit Video's status.

How to turn on Shared-Service Job Gating

  1. Go to Settings → Task Builder.

  2. Click Settings (top right).

  3. Turn on Shared-Service Job Gating.

  4. Click Save Changes.

Notes

  • This setting is off by default.

  • This is a global setting — it applies to all Job Tasks on the account.

  • This does not change Service Task behavior, which already unlocks independently per service. See How to Create a Workflow Task in the Task Builder.
