Reordering Transitions
The order of the workflow transitions on the Transitions subtab of the Workflow State window determines the order in which the transitions execute for each trigger type. If two transitions execute on the same trigger type, the first transition listed on the subtab executes before the second, if the condition requirements are met. Reorder the transitions on the Transitions subtab to make the transitions execute in the proper sequence.
For more information about the order of transition execution within a state, see Transition Triggers and SuiteFlow Trigger Execution Model.
You can use two methods to reorder the transitions. You can click the icon to the left of Edit on the Transitions subtab of the Workflow State window and drag to reorder an action. Optionally, each workflow transition includes the Insert Before property. You can use this property to reorder a transition within a state.
To reorder transitions:
-
If you have not already done so, open the existing workflow that contains the transitions that you want to reorder.
-
In the diagrammer, select the state that contains the transitions that you want to reorder and click the Edit icon for the state in the context panel.
-
Click the icon to the left of Edit for the action on the Transitions subtab, and drag it to a new location.
-
Optionally, to reorder an transition with the Insert Before property, click Edit next to the transition you want to reorder.
On the Workflow Transition window, select a new value for the Insert Before property, and click Save.
-
Click Save.
