Manage workflow activity conditions

Activities contain default conditions that determine which transitions are followed.

About this task

For example, the Approval - User activity has two conditions, Approved and Rejected.

You can use a JavaScript condition check to create custom conditions on Core workflow activities. (Custom activities do not support this feature.)

1. Right-click the activity and select Add Condition from the context menu.
2. In the New Workflow Condition dialog box, fill in the fields as appropriate (see table).
