Specifies the properties of a new action for the workflow process.
You specify the type of action you want to create, a name for the action, and the following state if appropriate. Once you identify the action properties, the actions will be added to the Actions list for the selected state. If the action is a transition, it will also be shown in the workflow diagram as an arrow between the corresponding states.
Options
Action Name
Type a name for the new action.
Actions between states
Select an action type that impacts another state.
Transition Items can move to the workflow state indicated in the Next state box. When the action is performed, the item is transitioned to a new state identified here. Select the next state from the list of available options. To add a state to this list, you must create the state in the workflow diagram first.
Create Users can create items in this workflow state. This option is disabled if the state already has a Create action. When this action is performed, a new item is created.
Delete Users can delete items in this workflow state. This option is disabled if the state already has a Delete action. When this action is performed, the selected item is deleted.
Actions within the state
Select an action type to perform.
Change Users can modify items in this workflow state without causing a transition to another state. This option is disabled if the state already has a Change action.
Enter Triggers an event when entering this state regardless of the previous state.
Exit Triggers an event when quitting this state regardless of the next state.
Timeout Triggers the event in the Action name box based on a time-out. The validation procedure you create for the action should return True when the time-out expires.
