Conditions Subtask

Use this subtask to set Start conditions for the workflow model. If these conditions are not met, the approval workflow cannot be started.

This subtask is visible only if the Workflow Start Screen check box is selected for the result set (screen) selected on the Application Screens subtask. You can use the conditions on this subtask to prevent users from starting the workflow if some critical information is not entered.

To set conditions you want to implement at the individual approval steps, go to the Conditions subtask of the Edit Node or Edit Activity subtask.
