5. Click Next. Dependencies page is displayed.
- Dependencies: For Solutions under Elements, there will be a Dependency step, which contains the prerequisites or dependencies of the Solution which needs to be completed before or after installing the Solution.

- (Optional) Assets Selection: This section displays all the Assets of the Solution. By default, all the Assets of an Solution are selected for installation. If you do not wish to Install an Asset, click Clear All and select the required Assets. The Asset(s) whose respective check box(es) is not selected is not configured when the Solution is installed.
Note: Click Select All to select all the assets, if not already selected.

Note: Once a Solution is deployed, you can not deploy it again for 30 minutes or until the previous deployment is completed.
Install Asset
The installation process creates the Gainsight Assets configured with a Solution. Assets include Playbooks, Rules, Surveys, Reports, etc.
By default, all the Assets of a Solution are selected for installation. If you do not wish to Install an Asset, clear the checkbox for that Asset. The Asset(s) whose respective check box(es) is not selected is not configured when the Solution is deployed.
Handling Manual Assets
Some Assets are part of a Solution that must be manually created. You can differentiate a manual Asset from an automated one by the symbol present against the Asset.
- Assets that are created automatically are accompanied by a checkbox. When you select the checkbox for the Asset, it is created during the installation.
- Manual Assets are accompanied by a human symbol and have to be manually created. If you wish to use a manual asset, you must create them before installing the respective solution. However, some manual rule assets are for post-installation.
