Create system function

Use the Create system function to launch a workflow of a specific workflow definition.

1. From the General System Palette, drag a Create step onto the workflow map where you want to launch another workflow.

   See About system steps for information about including multiple system functions in a single step.

2. Select the name of the workflow to launch. Only workflow definitions that have been transferred to the workflow database are listed.
   • The selected workflow definition must not include a response in the launch step.
   • The selected workflow definition must not include F_Originator as a participant at any step.
3. Use the Assignments table to assign values to data fields in either the current work item or the newly created work item. (Optional)

   In the assignments table, field names in the Name column are assumed to belong to the newly created work item; field names in the Expression column are assumed to belong to the current work item. You can use the $ in front of the field name to reverse this assumption.

   For example: - Workflow_1 (current workflow) has data fields A, B, C; - Workflow_2 (newly created workflow) has data fields C, D, E.

   C	A	Assigns the value of field A in Workflow_1 to field C in Workflow_2.
   D	$E	Assigns the value of field E in Workflow_2 to field D in Workflow_2.
