Occasionally, when building an automated task, it is important that the task run alone and uninterrupted. Since AutoMateÖ is fully multi-threaded, it has the capability of running many tasks simultaneously.
The Priority feature in AutoMateÖ gives you the power to instruct AutoMateÖ whether or not to run a task in conjunction with other tasks, and how to handle a conflict if one arises between tasks.
For more information about prioritizing tasks and handling conflicts between tasks, see the Prioritizing Tasks topic.
NOTE: This feature is useful when a task must make sure that an application stays in the foreground (also called focused) in order to send keystrokes to it. If another task were to run and try to focus an unrelated application û it would interfere with the task that is attempting to send keystrokes.
