Duplicate transactions on completion

You can duplicate the transaction in the completion task of an activity when a single transaction needs to become multiple transactions to be processed. The duplicate transactions are processed separately.

1. Double-click a shape and click the Task page in the Properties dialog box.

2. Click the On Completion tab and choose Duplicate.

3. Enter a number or an expression in the Count field.

4. Select New Family if you want to start a new family for duplicated transactions.

For Select New Family, when transactions that are members of an original family enter the activity, they become related to each other in the new family. Further, the transactions are no longer part of the original family when they leave the activity.

Note: Duplicate By Member allows you to duplicate each transaction into separate transactions, where each transaction has a unique member value for the specified attribute.
