Step 4 Create the Conditional Transition

Use a condition on a transition to specify that the transition executes when a record changes status. In this example, create a transition between the Notify Customer and Notify Supervisor states that executes when the phone call completes. For more information about this example, see Creating and Subscribing to a Record.

To create a conditional transition:

  1. If you have not already done so, create the Subscribe To Record action. See Step 3 Create the Subscribe To Record Action.

  2. In the diagrammer, hover over the bottom of the state where you want the transition to start. The cursor becomes a filled half-circle.

    Drag the icon to the target state and release the mouse to create the transition.

  3. In the diagrammer, select the transition and click the Edit icon on the Transition tab in the context panel.

  4. In the Workflow Transition window, in the Condition section, open the Condition Builder and create the following condition:

    Column

    Value

    Record

    bikerepair.phonecall (Workflow)

    Field

    Phone Call Status

    Compare Type

    any of

    Selection

    Completed

    For more information about creating a condition, see Defining a Condition with the Condition Builder.

    This condition states that when the Phone Call record created by the workflow changes status to Completed, the transition between the two states:

    An example of a condition entered into the condition builder.
    Note:

    This type of transition does not require a trigger. NetSuite automatically checks for the status of the Phone Call and executes the transition when the condition evaluates to true.

  5. Click Save.

The setup for the transition and the related condition is now complete. You can use a similar process to implement the functionality in a workflow for other created record types. To return to the example, see Creating and Subscribing to a Record.
