# Auto Complete Assigned Form

## Overview

The **AutoComplete****Property**for **Assignments**allows the ability to send an [**Assigned****Form**](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/creating-a-task-from-a-flow)****down a separate path based upon user-established triggers and parameters. In establishing such parameters, **Assignments**can be completed based on a set **Timespan**, without completion by the **Assignee**. This would be useful for tracking when Assignments aren't completed within an expected timeframe. The following document demonstrates how to apply **AutoComplete**settings to an **Assigned****Form**as a means of **Assignment**redirection.

## Example

1. From a **Designer****Project**, CREATE a new [**Flow**](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/create-flows).
2. From **Toolbox > FAVORITE STEPS** in the **Flow Designer**, attach a **Show Form** step to the **Start**step. [Create a new Form.](/v9/docs/create-forms)
3. From the **Form Designer**, design a Form that allows for two separate **Outcome Paths** by adding two separate **Buttons**. For example purposes, these Buttons will be labeled "Approve" and "Deny".  
  
Then **Save**and close the **Form****Designer**.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-24_10h46_31.png)
4. Back in the **Flow****Designer**, connect both **Outcome****Paths**to the **End**step.
5. From the **Properties**tab of the Show Form step, under ASSIGNMENT, select an **Assignment****Type**, and provide an **Assignee**(via **Assign****To**), an **Assignment****Name**. and an **Assignment** **Action****Name**.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-24_10h48_32.png)
6. Scroll to and expand the AUTO COMPLETE STEP category, and enable **Auto****Complete**. Then, set the desired timeframe via the **Check Time Span** sliders.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-24_10h49_35.png)
7. Under **AUTO COMPLETE STEP > Scenarios**, click ADD. In the resulting **Add Scenarios** window, provide an OUTCOME NAME, and if desired, add additional **Output****Data**via ADDing **Parameters**. Then, click OK.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-24_10h50_32.png)
8. Connect the **Auto Complete Path** to the **End**step. Then from the AUTO COMPLETE STEP category of the Form step's **Properties** tab, click EDIT [FORM] AUTO COMPLETE FLOW.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-24_10h52_12.png)
9. In the resulting **Flow****Designer**, connect the **Done**path to the **AutoCompletePath**step. If desired, configure any additional Flow logic, then **Save**and close the Flow Designer.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-24_10h53_01.png)

## Debug

1. From the **Flow Designer**, select the **Debug**link from the **Top Action Bar**. Then, click START DEBUGGING.
2. Allow the **Flow**to run and wait the amount of time dictated in **Check Time Span**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-24_10h55_56.png)
3. Ensure that the **Flow**continues down the **Auto Complete Path** on its own.
