You can verify whether the workflow contains problems that would prevent it from running properly. Problems with the workflow are shown in the Verify dialog box.
The Verify dialog box lists the type of problem, the step or task where the problem exists, and a brief description of the problem.
The verification process identifies two basic types of problems: Errors and Warnings
- Errors
Errors are problems such that if left unchanged will create a run-time error in the workflow instance. For example, a Task defined without a Performer. Until all errors are fixed, the verification will fail and the template will remain disabled. The Verify dialog box represents errors with a red X.
- Warnings
Warnings are problems that can be fixed outside of the workflow editor. For example, if a Module Task (which requires a scope to define its link) ultimately inherits its scope from the Workflow and the workflow's scope = [None], there will only be an error because this could be rectified by inserting a Workflow scope when Starting the workflow manually. Warnings do not prevent the enabling of the workflow template. The Verify dialog box represents warnings with an exclamation symbol (!).
