Specify launch condition

Specify the conditions that must be true to launch a workflow from the link you are defining. A condition, which can contain multiple expressions, cannot be more than 254 characters.

  1. To access the Launch Condition dialog, click the Condition button on the Process Link Property dialog.
  2. Select the property to evaluate.
    The properties that you can choose are the document class (or document) properties.
  3. Select the Operator.
    For String properties:
    • Use "is equal" to match the entire string.
    • Use "contains" to match a substring. The match is case sensitive. There are no wildcards.
    • Use "is greater than..." and "is less than..." to test higher or lower alphabetical order.
    • Use "is greater than or equal" and "is less than or equal" to match the entire string and test higher/lower alphabetical order.
  4. Enter the Value.
    For Date properties:
    • In the Value field, the date format reflects the date format on your computer. We recommend that you edit this field carefully to maintain the format.
    • In the expression window, the date value you enter is converted to the format required for the workflow server.
  5. Click Insert to add the expression to the expression window.
