About Start Steps

Start steps identify the input conditions that must be met for a process to execute. For example, to handle open service requests, you could define a start condition of "Status = Open."

The main parts of defining Start steps for a workflow process are:

• Defining a Start Step
  • See Field Descriptions: WF Steps Applet for descriptions of all step field values.
• Define the start step branches, conditions, and values.
  • See Field Descriptions: WF Step Branch Applet.
  • See Field Descriptions: Compose Condition Criteria Dialog Box.
  • See Defining Conditions and Values for Branches, Decision Steps, and User Interact Steps.
