# Auto Complete Assigned Form

## Overview

The **AutoComplete** **Property** for **Assignments** allows the ability to send an [**Assigned** **Form**](https://documentation.decisions.com/version-10/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/version-10/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.](/version-10/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/image-1780679536412.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/image-1780679684871.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/image-1780679758012.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/image-1780679842549.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/image-1780679882365.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/image-1780679918278.png)
10. From the primary **Flow**, **Save** the Flow, then close the **Flow** **Designer** via **X**.

## 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/image-1780679943937.png)
3. Ensure that the **Flow** continues down the **Auto Complete Path** on its own.
