You can now associate related plans with recovery tasks, making it easier to identify and manage plans during recovery. You can then use auto-generated nested plans in an event, reducing the manual effort of adding plans and
improving system performance.
For configuring cross-plan dependencies, you must associate related plans to a recovery task. Whenever a related plan is associated with a recovery task in an event, a new activated plan is created from this task.

For more information on using nested plans in an event, see [Using nested plans](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/2LJiiI6_2m8DsGzYwYuXDg "Configure a system property to control activated plan levels in an event. The system automatically creates nested plans within an event, reducing the manual effort of adding plans and improving system performance. You can also add dependencies between multiple activated plans by updating the Dependencies field in the event tasks.").
