Creating a Condition on a Branch Connector

You create a condition on a branch connector to control task flow. For example, the following are some conditions that you can create according to the value of a priority field:

  • If the priority is high, then the task follows a branch that sends an email to a vice president.

  • If the priority is medium, then the task follows a branch that sends an email to an individual contributor.

You use the Compose Condition Criteria dialog box to create a condition. For detailed usage information, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide.

To create a condition on a branch connector

  1. Open the Task Editor (see Opening the Task Editor) for the task you want to modify.

  2. Double-click the branch connector where you want to create the condition – the Compose Condition Criteria dialog box opens. The following also opens the Compose Condition Criteria dialog box:

    • (Siebel Tools) Right-click the connector and select Edit Condition.

    • (Web Tools) Select the connector, click the Tasks Menu (cogwheel icon) and select Edit Conditions.

  3. In the Compose Condition Criteria dialog box, use the Compare To list to select one of the values described in the following table. The content of this dialog box varies according to the business object that the task references.

    Value Description

    Applet

    Uses the value that an applet field contains for the condition comparison.

    Business Component

    Uses the value that a business component field contains for the condition comparison or when you create an expression.

    Expression

    Uses an expression to evaluate a specific value.
    Task Property

    Compares the value that a task property of a task instance contains to a defined value.

  4. Select an Operation to evaluate the values.

  5. Enter an Object and Field, if necessary.

  6. Enter one or more values in the Values window.

    If you enter multiple values, then Siebel CRM uses an OR operator between each value.

  7. If you chose Expression in the Compare To field, then enter the expression in the Values window.
