Actions
Transitions between workflow states (or steps) are enabled by Workflow Actions. An action is defined as a directed path from a source step to a destination step.
While system and edit steps will each have only one action, which will happen automatically, transition steps are dependent on user intervention, and will typically have multiple actions from which the user may choose (such as approve, reject, edit, etc.).
Elements that make up an Action:
- action identifier - This is how this action is identified within the workflow.
- label - This is what will be visible to the user.
- transition - This identifies which step should come next.
- triggers - More than one trigger may be added to an action. Triggers are plug-ins that encapsulate some system logic to accomplish a non-workflow-related function.
- parameters - These are optional elements added to a trigger to further specify the system logic that should occur.
