Start Conditions for Workflows

Use

You use this function if you want to define additional conditions for the start of a workflow.

Features

This function enables the definition of start conditions for a workflow.

This means that the start of a workflow no longer depends only on whether a specific event is created, but also on the occurrence of additional conditions.

Selection Area

The following selection criteria are available for selecting a particular workflow:

  • Start Condition

    Here you can search for the name of a particular start condition defined for a workflow.

  • Business object

    Here you can search for workflows with start conditions using a particular object type.

  • Event

    All the events for the chosen object type, which are linked with workflows as triggering events are offered for selection here.

  • Workflow

    Here you can search directly for workflows with start conditions.

Definition Range

In this area you can define additional start conditions for workflows or view and change existing start conditions.

The individual lines of a start condition provide the following information:

  • Name of the start condition

  • Currency

  • Triggering event of workflow

  • Start Condition

To change the start condition, the name of the condition, or the currency, single-click on the relevant area.

Select to activate the start condition (or to deactivate it). Select to delete the start condition.
