Page Under Construction

There are two rules that should be followed when adding multiple connectors to a workflow task that incorporate conditional logic statements:

1. Collectively, the conditions on each task should accommodate every possible permutation.
2. Each condition should be mutually exclusive from every other.

Let's discuss each of these rules.

Rule #1: Collectively, the conditions on each task must accommodate every possible permutation.

Example of Incorrect Configuration

• Three types exist in a given application, with typeIDs of 12345, 45678 and 67890.
• Two connectors are set up on a workflow task with conditions of:

• "@typeid@"="12345" and
• "@typeid@"="45678", respectively

• If the workflow is fired against a record associated with typeID 67890, the workflow will never progress to the next task.

Examples of Correct Configuration

• As above, three types exist in a given application, with typeIDs of 12345, 45678 and 67890.
• Three connectors are set up on a workflow task with conditions of:

• "@typeid@"="12345",
• "@typeid@"="45678" and
• "@typeid@"="67890", respectively

• Alternatively, two connectors with the following conditions could be set up:

• "@typeid@"="12345" and
• "@typeid@"!="12345" (not equal to "12345"), respectively

• In all cases, when using logical conditions on connectors, the conditions must encompass all possible logical scenarios.

Rule #2: Each condition should be mutually exclusive from every other.
