Workflow States
Use workflow states to divide workflows into smaller stages. To add a state to a workflow, in the Graphical Workflow Designer, double-click the canvas or select New State in Tools. In the State Properties dialog, specify the settings. See the information in the table.
| Open the tab | To... |
|---|---|
| General | Give a name and description for the state. |
| Conditions | Specify the preconditions and postconditions for the state. |
| Actions | Specify what happens when an object is moved to the state. For instructions, see Workflow State Actions. |
| Advanced | Assign an alias for the state. When automatic aliases are in use and you write a name on the General tab, the Aliases field on the Advanced tab is automatically filled in. The alias has the format <predefined prefix>.<name>. Configure automatic aliases for your vault in Advanced Vault Settings. For more information on aliases, see Associating the Metadata Definitions. |
