IBM FileNet P8, Version 5.2.1            

Conditional postponement of work item processing

You can make a work item wait for another work item that meets a specified condition. This functionality can be useful in workflows that require information from outside the main process, such as a loan approval process that depends on verification of the applicant's employment. One work item represents the loan application, and the other item represents the employment verification.

When you include WaitForCondition in a step, you specify criteria of the work items to wait for. The criteria include a workflow definition name and an identifying value (such as the applicant's Social Security number). Although only one work item can satisfy the WaitForCondition at run time, you can enter multiple criteria if the waited-for work item can be one of several different work items.
