Configure workflow triggers

Workflow triggers determine when a new workflow instance is started.

In the template the section is called "Workflow Triggers".

Template triggers: basic fields

  1. In the template → section Workflow Triggers.
  2. New.
  3. Field Workflow Event select (AssistEdit → list "AWF Table Workflow Events").
  4. Active = Yes.
  5. Priority set (order when several matching triggers exist).

Trigger rules: when may a trigger fire?

On the trigger there is a Rule Group Code. Via the action "Show Rules":

  1. mark the trigger.
  2. Show Rules.
  3. Maintain rules/rule conditions as in Step rules .

Important system behavior:

  • If no rule conditions exist for this trigger rule group, the trigger is considered satisfied (the trigger then fires in principle).

OnAfterModify: Monitored fields

For the event OnAfterModify there is the action "Monitored Fields".

  1. Mark the trigger with the workflow event OnAfterModify .
  2. Action "Monitored Fields".
  3. select fields (lookup via "Fields Lookup").

  • In the current implementation, an OnAfterModify trigger is only started when at least one monitored field is maintained and this field has actually changed.
  • If no monitored fields are maintained, the trigger is not started on OnAfterModify.
