Exit values in workflow steps
In order for an entry to move to the next step within a workflow, that entry needs to be edited and then assigned an exit value.
An exit value is assigned by the performer of a step
after all of the processing on that entry that needs to be done in
this step (such as editing some of its values) is complete. The entry
then moves to the next step or steps that correspond to that exit
value in the workflow graph design.
- DONE
- The default exit value is
Done. This default exit value shows that the action is completed and the entry can now move to the next step. - SUCCESS
- An exit value of
Successmeans that the entry completed the last step within the workflow and no other steps are necessary. You cannot add another step or have an entry move to the next step if an exit value ofFailureorSuccessis assigned. - FAILURE
- An exit value of
Failuremeans that the step cannot be completed and that something needs to be fixed before the user can save edits and move to the next step. You cannot add another step or have an entry move to the next step if an exit value ofFailureorSuccessis assigned. - CUSTOM
- You can create your own custom exit values in the Exit values field for a step. Type the exit value that you want to create in the blank field and click the + button. The new exit value is added to the list of possible values for your step within a workflow. To remove a custom exit value, highlight the exit value in the list and click the X button.
- APPROVE
- An exit value of
Approvemeans that the step is complete. You can only approve a step in the Or Approval or And Approval steps. - REJECT
- An exit value of
Rejectmeans that the step is not complete. You can only reject a step in the Or Approval or And Approval steps. If one approver rejects the entry, it will move out on the REJECT exit value.
