Connections give jobs the ability to be dependent on one another and allow virtually unlimited possibilities when it comes to setting conditions for the flow and execution of those jobs. The two basic types of interdependencies are initiates and prerequisites. Initiate jobs are triggered for execution when a job completes. Associated with each initiate can be a condition or severity level at which the next job should be triggered. In this way, different branches can be taken based on the success/failure of a particular job. The second connection is called a "prerequisite." Prerequisites hold up a job, preventing it from being executed.
