Workflow Transitions

A transition moves the record in the workflow into another state. A state can contain multiple transitions, with each transition having its own condition. A workflow instance executes the first transition that meets the transition condition and the record in the workflow moves to the specified state.

Each transition has the following elements:

• Transition properties. Properties common to all transitions. See Transition Properties.

• Trigger. The trigger determines when a transition executes. See Transition Triggers.

• Conditions. The condition determine the additional prerequisites that must be met for a transition to execute. All conditions must be satisfied to execute the transition. See Transition Conditions.

The following screenshot shows the Transitions subtab for a workflow state that contains three transitions. The first condition that evaluates to true executes.
