Workflow State Conditions
On the Conditions tab of the State Properties dialog, you can specify different preconditions and postconditions for the state transitions. For example, you can select properties or their values that a document must have before it is moved to a different state. The conditions can also show users that specified documents (for example, project documentation) must be on a certain level before it is possible to move them to the next level.
To open the dialog, see instructions on editing states.
It is possible to use variables, generic features of VBScript, and M-Files API to specify conditions that meet special needs.
You can use these variables: VaultSharedVariables, MFScriptCancel, CurrentUserID, Vault, DisplayID, ObjVer, PropertyValues, StateID, PropertyDef, SavepointVariables, TransactionCache, and GetExtensionObject. For more information about variables, see Available VBScript Variables.

Preconditions
The state preconditions specify the properties that an object must have before it can be moved to this state.
For example, the document must contain the Approved by information before it is moved to the Approved state.
Postconditions
The state postconditions specify the properties that an object must have for it to be moved out of this state.
For example, the purchase invoice must have the Cost center information before it is moved from the Awaiting definition of cost center state.
