Planning Policies and Conditions

The second step in planning is to define the policy properties and conditions, identify the workflow policy object to be monitored in the Siebel database, and determine the monitoring interval period and duration.

Table 24 illustrates the type of information you need to model the general policy definition in terms of Workflow Policies. It shows the workflow policy name as Email Confirmation of SR, the workflow policy object is Service Request, monitoring interval period (Workflow Group) is Medium Frequency, and the duration is set to 0.

NOTE:  Duration indicates the time element that must be met before an action is performed. Each workflow policy has one duration, so if you need to cause an action to occur after one hour, two hours, and six hours, you must create a different policy for each duration.

After you determine your policy's workflow object and other properties, you need to define the workflow conditions, as shown in Table 25. Conditions are in the form of an expression.
