Info

The example above demonstrated using the Skip command, however, there are other ways a task can be skipped, such as task run/skip criteria. The same would apply, regardless of how the task instance is skipped. You could also use runtime run/skip criteria to defer skipping B until all of its predecessor dependencies have been satisfied.


...

Saving/Updating a Workflow

Click the  icon.

Info

The Controller checks if other users have made changes before updating the workflow. If other modifications were made, a dialog box will appear, giving you options to proceed with the update and overwrite the modifications, cancel the update and return to the workflow editor, or cancel and discard your changes.


The Automatically Create Versions system property must be true for the Controller to check for changes made by other users.
