Approved and Rejected transitions
The Approved and Rejected transitions will only be available after and an
approval has been added to the state.
There is no requirement to add both the Approved and Rejected transition. Only one is required for the approval.
Adding an approval to the state restricts the choice of other transitions for the state
- the submit and select
transitions cannot be added.
Adding a condition for a transition
For Select transitions one or more conditions can be added that must be met for the select transition to be active.
Conditions for a select transition include
haslabel requiring the content to have the label or labels added as the condition value
user requires the current user to be one of the added users added as the condition value
Checking Invert
makes the condition
valid when the value(s) specified is not present.
If the condition is not met then the workflow popup on the content will not display the select transition option.
