Overview
Review tasks can have parent-child relationships. This is useful for complex approval workflows where multiple related decisions need to be tracked together.How Hierarchies Work
Parent Tasks
- Represent high-level operations
- Group related child tasks
- Track overall progress
- Complete when all children resolve
Child Tasks
- Handle specific sub-parts
- Inherit context from parent
- Can be approved/declined independently
- Roll up status to parent
Use Cases
Multi-Step Processes
Each step in a workflow creates a child task under one parent
Batch Operations
Multiple similar items grouped under one parent for easier tracking
Escalation Chains
Initial review fails, escalation creates child task for senior reviewer
Parallel Approvals
Different teams approve different aspects simultaneously
Example: Campaign Launch
Completion Rules
| Scenario | Parent Result |
|---|---|
| All children approved | Parent approved |
| Any child declined | Parent declined |
| Some children have changes requested | Parent waits |
| Timeout on child | Depends on workflow |
