Adding a Decision Point

A decision point is a type of workflow process step that evaluates one or more decision conditions to determine the next step that the workflow process runs. A decision point evaluates the user data of a business component when the workflow process. For example, assume a workflow policy starts the workflow process, and that multiple violations of a workflow policy condition occur during the action interval of the Workflow Monitor Agent. When this workflow process runs, the decision point determines the branch to pursue according to the current value of the business component field.

To add a decision point

1. Add a decision point to a workflow process.

   For more information, see Adding a Step to a Workflow Process.

2. Define a decision condition for the decision point.

   For more information, see Creating a Decision Condition on a Branch Connector.

Moving Branch Logic from a Workflow Process to a Workflow Policy

If you move the logic of a branch connector from the workflow process to the workflow policy, then the workflow policy creates unique events in the defined action interval, and a violation of the workflow policy starts the workflow process.
