Using the Decision Branches View
This view is for entering and viewing the details for a Decision step. A decision can contain many branches. Each branch is based on multiple conditions.
The top portion of the view, the Decision applet, is where you can perform various tasks. The lower portion has three applets: Branches, Conditions, and Values.
The tasks you can perform in this view are:
- Define a decision step. See Defining a Decision Step.
- Delete a decision step. See Deleting a Step or Process.
- Copy a decision step. See Copying a Process.
- Define branches. See Defining Decision Branches.
- Define conditions and values. See Defining Conditions and Values.
Decision Applet Field Descriptions
Table 10 describes the fields where you enter data in the Decision applet.
Branches Applet Field Descriptions
Table 11 describes the fields in the Branches applet.
Table 11. Branches Applet Fields Field Description Possible Value Name The name of the branch. The name of the branch must be unique or you will not be able to import or export the workflow process. Type The type of branch. The value can be one of two choices:
- Default. This value indicates that if all conditional branches fail, this branch will be followed.
- Condition. Define zero or more conditions. If no conditions are defined, it means the branch always passes.
- Connector. Use this value whenever there is no condition branching involved.
- Error Exception. Use this value to define exception handling. This connector type captures system errors, such as an error noting that the Assignment Manager server component is not available. For more information, see Working with Exceptions.
- User Defined Exception. Use this value to define exception handling. This connector type captures user-defined errors, such as an error noting that an order being submitted is incomplete. For more information, see Working with Exceptions.
Next Step The name of the step that follows when conditions are met. Comments Additional statements relative to the branch.Conditions Applet Field Descriptions
Table 12 describes the fields in the Conditions applet.
Values Applet
The Values applet is dynamic based on the Compare To field in the Conditions applet. The Values applet is for storing data to be used in the condition evaluation.
