Edit transitions using workflow builder

.

State transitions editor

When a state is displayed in the state inspector panel choose Transitions to open the transitions editor for the current state.

Any existing transitions from the current state and the transition destination state will be displayed.

Edit an existing transition

Choose an existing transition to change the transition type and/or the destination state using the dropdown menus.

Choose Add to save the change.

Remove a transition

Mouse-over a transition and choosing the popup X  to remove a transition.

For each edit ensure that you choose Apply to save the changes.

Add a new transition

One or more transitions can be added to a state by choosing

• the type of transition from a Transition v dropdown menu
• the destination state from a State v dropdown menu

Choose the Transition v dropdown menu.

Choose a transition from the available transition types.

To complete the transition configure the destination state (or if select transition is chosen one or more destination states).

Choose the State v dropdown menu for the new transition.

For a submit transition only one destination state is possible.

To amend changes to state transitions, choose Add.

To avoid the loss of transition changes you must then

• add the changes to the workflow by choosing Save in the Navigation panel.
• add the updated workflow to the content by selecting Exit in the Navigation panel.

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 transition 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 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

You check Invert so the condition is valid when the value(s) specified is not present.

If the condition is not met then the workflow popup will not display the select transition option.

For the Select transition see the {state-selection} macro and Conditions.
