Associate a response with a route

About this task

In many workflows, the response the participant selects determines the subsequent route that the workflow follows.

To specify the routing based on responses

Procedure

  1. Check that the responses are defined in the step where the route originates. Responses can exist only in activity steps.
  2. Select the route to the appropriate destination step.
  3. On the Properties pane, under Conditional Routing, click Condition.
  4. On the Responses tab, select the appropriate response for the route.
  5. Specify how this response will be evaluated.

    Note that in a multi-participant step, all the participants must complete the step before any responses are evaluated.

    • Any: In a multi-participant step, the condition is true if any participant selects this response. For a single participant step, you can choose either Any or All; the result is the same.
    • All: The condition is true if all participants select this response.
    • None: The condition is true if no participant selects this response.
    • Count: Specify the operator and the value required for the condition to be true. For example, =8 means the condition is true if eight participants select the response.
  6. Click Insert to apply this condition to the route.
