(Optional) A condition that determines whether a record can move to this transition state.
You can enter an expression directly in the text box, or click the fx icon to open the Expression Builder window, where you can define an expression. For more information about Expression Builder, see Expression Builder.
Do not use any calculated fields in the expression. Calculated fields are not supported in expressions in the Condition field on transition states.
If the condition that you specify is not met when a user tries to move a record of the record type specified in the process to this transition state, then an error message appears and the user’s changes are not saved.

Record Access Control

Disable Update
|
(Optional) If this check box is selected, then users, including external applications, cannot update records of the record type specified in the process when the records are in this transition state.
|
Disable Delete/Remove

(Optional) If this check box is selected, then users, including external applications, cannot delete records of the record type specified in the process while the records are in this transition state.
Also, if a record in this transition state is a child of a parent record, then users cannot remove the record from the relationship if doing so results in the child record being deleted from Oracle CRM On Demand.
However, if removing the child record from the relationship with the parent record does not result in the child record being deleted from Oracle CRM On Demand, then the record can be removed from the relationship while the record is in this transition state, but it cannot be deleted.
