<div class="line">Sometimes you do not want to run a <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-task"><em class="xref std std-term">task</em></a> when a certain condition is met.</div>
<div class="line">In this case you can use the <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-complete-trigger"><em class="xref std std-term">complete trigger</em></a> keyword.</div>
<div class="line">This has a similar syntax to the <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-trigger"><em class="xref std std-term">trigger</em></a> keyword but sets a <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-task"><em class="xref std std-term">task</em></a></div>
<div class="line"><a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-complete"><em class="xref std std-term">complete</em></a> rather than running it.</div>

<div class="line-block">
<div class="line">It can be used in conjunction with a <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-trigger"><em class="xref std std-term">trigger</em></a>. For example:</div>

<div class="line">Completes are used to declare dependencies between two tasks.</div>

<div class="line">When <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-ecf-server"><em class="xref std std-term">ecf_server</em></a> tries to start a <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-task"><em class="xref std std-term">task</em></a>, it evaluates the <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-trigger"><em class="xref std std-term">trigger</em></a></div>
<div class="line">and <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-complete-trigger"><em class="xref std std-term">complete trigger</em></a> expressions.

<p><a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-complete-trigger"><em class="xref std std-term">complete trigger</em></a> evaluation takes precedence over the <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-trigger"><em class="xref std std-term">trigger</em></a>.</p>
<p>Completes can be between tasks, between families, or both.</p>
<p>What to do:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Edit the <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-suite-definition"><em class="xref std std-term">suite definition</em></a> file or python to add a complete to task <strong>t4</strong></li>
<li>Load the definition again</li>
<li>Observe the tasks in <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-ecflowview"><em class="xref std std-term">ecFlowview</em></a></li>
<li>See the triggers by selecting <strong>t4</strong> and clicking on the <img alt="triggers" src="../../../_images/triggers.jpg" /> icon</li>
<li>See the trigger relation by clicking on the arrow</li>
<li>See the triggers in the tree, using the Show menu</li>
<li>Note the icon indicating that the task has not run</li>
<li>You can modify task <strong>t2</strong> to check that task <strong>t4</strong> will run when the event is not set</li>
