Specify a routing expression

Routing can be based on a Boolean expression using the value of one or more fields, or a combination of field values and responses.

To specify the routing based on a conditional expression

  1. Before you specify the routing expression, check the following:
    • If you are using data fields in the routing expression, check that the data fields are defined in the workflow properties.
    • If you are using responses, check that the responses are defined in the step.
  2. With the appropriate route selected, on the Properties pane, click Conditional Route.
  3. For a simple condition using the fields in this workflow definition (data fields, attachments, and workflow groups)
    • Select the Data Fields tab, then select the field from the list of fields in this workflow definition.
    • Select the appropriate operator (is equal, not equal, is greater than, and so on).
    • Enter the value. The value must meet the requirements for expressions.
    • Click Add to add the expression to the expression text box.
    • Insert parentheses ( ) and And and Or as needed.

    For more complex condition expressions including built-in functions, double-click in the expression text area to access the expression builder.

TIP If there is no route with an expression that evaluates to "true", the workflow will stop.
