You can't have a link inside a Sequencer, you can only have links attached to a Sequencer. I think the word you wanted was "Sequence".

You have to invent your own naming conventions; no-one will impose any.

Thanks, Ray. Just wondering if anybody knows a good way to name them or has done so - I can't think of anything better than something like: lnk_To_<Job_name/ChildSequence name> :?

upstream_activity_Done (unconditional)
upstream_activity_OK
upstream_activity_Error
upstream_activity_NonFail (custom: OK or warn)
etc.

(I don't mean literal activity names, more the task that it performs.)
Outputs from a Nested Condition activity should reflect the condition.

On our project I rigorously insist and enforce that all links inside Job Sequences be named in the convention DSLinknn where nn is an arbitrary number of any length.
