7.2.3 Connecting the Action Using Transition

A Transition is used to control the flow between various components in the Process, such as between two or more Human Tasks. Transition connects two activities, and the flow is configured based on conditional expression or decision rule. You can even connect to the OOB tasks.

To provide a connection between two actions, follow these steps:

  1. On the Tools bar, select the Transition line (Transition Line Transition line to use a straight line to connect the activities or Transition Curve Transition Curve to use curved lines, based on your requirement).
  2. On the Canvas, connect between newly added human task and existing human task. For example, connect between Open Status (existing task) to Closed status (newly created task).
  3. Right-click on the new transition line between Open Status (existing Human task) to Closed status (newly created Human task). The Edit Transition window is displayed.
  4. To enter the decision rule, click the search Searchicon in the Decision rule field. The Participant Dialog is displayed. Select the required option. For example, Close, Cancel, and so on.
  5. Click OK. The newly created transition is added to the selected Human tasks.

    Note:

    The decision rules are created in Creating a New Application Rule.
  6. Click Save. A confirmation message is displayed.
