# Execute Task

### General

This type of action can be used in a [Task](/release36/docs/tasks) to execute another task.

### Properties

This type of action has the following properties:

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Task | The [Task](/release36/docs/tasks) to be executed. |
| Wait For Execution To Be Finished | When enabled, the execution of the task that contains the *Execute Task* action will only continue if the other task has finished its execution. |
| Parameter Values | A list of parameter values you can supply to the task parameters. |

### Example

Let's suppose you have a task named *Task Runner* that contains two *Execute Task* actions; the first one executes task *Task* *A* and has *Wait For Execution To Be Finished* enabled, the second one executes task *Task B* and does not have *Wait For Execution To Be Finished* enabled.

When the execution of task *Task Runner* starts it will block an execution slot (it counts against the maximum number of parallel executions permitted by your license) and will start to execute *Task A*; the execution of *Task A* will also block an execution slot (so two slots are used). Since *Wait For Execution To Be Finished* has been enabled, the execution of task *Task Runner* will not continue until the execution of task *Task A* has finished.

Once task *Task A* has finished, it will no longer block an execution slot (therefore only one execution slot is blocked; the one by *Task Runner*). Then task *Task B* will be executed. Since *Wait For Execution To Be Finished* is not enabled, the task *Task Runner* will immediately complete (and no longer block an execution slot) and task *Task B* will run until it has finished.

          Standard Edition consideration

          

The Standard Edition includes only one execution slot, therefore the **Execute Task** Action should **not** be used.
