After you have added a flow path to a workflow diagram, you can specify the path type. For details on adding flow paths to a workflow, see Section 6.3, Adding Flow Paths.
To configure a flow path:
Click the flow path in the workflow diagram.
Set the flow type on the Properties tab by selecting one of the options in the Type drop-down list.
The flow path types are described in the following table:
Flow Type |
Description |
---|---|
forward |
Forwards control to the next activity in a workflow. The forward flow path is available after all activities except:
|
approved |
Determines what happens when a user approves a request. The approved flow path is valid only after the Approval activity. |
denied |
Determines what happens when a user denies a request. The denied flow path is valid only after the Approval activity. |
refused |
Determines what happens when a user refuses a request. The refused flow path is valid only after the Approval activity. |
timedout |
Determines what happens when an Approval activity times out because the user did not respond. The timedout flow path is valid only after the Approval activity. |
error |
Determines what happens when an Approval or Condition activity terminates with an error. The error flow path is valid only after the Approval and Condition activities. |
true |
Determines what happens when a conditional expression evaluates to True. The True flow path is valid only after the Condition activity. |
false |

If the Properties tab is not displayed, right-click the flow path in the workflow diagram and select Show Properties.
