Prioritize finishing a task sequence before going on a scheduled break

My resources are going on break in the middle of a custom task sequence, and I want the resource to finish the task sequence before going on break. I played with the priorities with the task sequence having a higher priority than the breaktime, but I am still running into the same problem. I believe it is happening because of a “wait for event” step in the task sequence, so once the token hits that step it allows the resource to go on break.

A break is dispatching a preempting tasksequence. You want to finish and then go into a break. Then the break preempting value is NOT_PREEMPT and the priority must be higher than any other tasksequence

Thank you for your reply. I am using time tables to determine the scheduled down times. How do I assign the NOT_PREEMPT value? I only see an option to give the down function a priority value.

You can select a different property especially designed for operators or in general taskexecuters instead of stopobject. Stopobject will executes a default action, which creates a preempting tasksequence.

if you select travel to location and wait, then you get access to involved Taskexecuter by local variable d3clared as object by downobject.

To keep him at his current location, you can set

downobject.location.x
downobject.location.y
downobject.location.z

if you need a pair of stop and resume, which let the Taskexecuter resume earlier you have to create an own tasksequence by source code or Process Flow.
