Validate a Workflow Process

Before you can enable a process, it must be validated to verify it's structural integrity. The system validates a Workflow process when you select the Enable Process action. To run the validation process without enabling the record, use the Validate Process action.

Caution: Enabling a process locks the process so that you no longer can modify it without creating a revision of it.

Tip: If you are validating a process that includes subprocesses, validate the subprocess records before you validate the main process.

To validate a Workflow process:

  1. In the Workflow Designer application, select the process record that you want to validate.

  2. Select one of the following options:

  1. From the Select Action menu, select Validate Process. The system displays a dialog box that lists the errors if the process fails validation. The system displays a message in the navigation bar if the process passes validation.

Or

  1. On the toolbar, click Validate Process . The system displays a dialog box that lists the errors if the process fails validation. The system displays a message in the navigation bar if the process passes validation.

  1. Click Save Process .
