A task can have any number of conditions that are associated
with it, although splitting uses only the first condition. Branching
actions can use any of the conditions.

- Start the Datacap Web Client,
click the Administrator tab, and click Workflow.
- Expand the job that contains the task, which includes the
condition and associated action, and select the task.
- In the Selected task details section,
select Router from the Mode drop-down
menu.
- In the Parameters section, enter Return
Conditions under the Key column,
and enter the condition name under the Value column.
- Click Apply.
- Click the task that you created and in the Selected
condition details section, and select or enter values
for the corresponding fields, as needed:
