Workflow Elements

Introduction

A workflow is composed of elements that you can drag on a path from the Toolbox or that you can see in the working area of the editor (. Below is a categorized overview of all elements. The following categories are used:

• Parameters
• General
• User tasks
• System actions

Workflow Parameters

A workflow parameter is input data for your workflow. The WorkflowContext parameter is a business-related data that travels through the workflow:

General

Elements in the general category help you control the workflow path, for example, add parallel paths or end them.

The elements of this category are described in the table below:

Graphic	Element	Description
	Start event	The starting point of a workflow. Workflows are triggered either by the Call workflow on-click event on pages or by the Workflow call action in microflows. Click the start event to open workflow properties.
	Annotation	An annotation is an element that can be used to put comments to a flow. For example, you can add a comment for your team that one of the user tasks needs to be changed later. You can add annotations to the workflow or to individual activities. To add the annotation to the workflow, drag and drop the annotation in the editor’s working area. To add the annotation to the activity, drag and drop it inside the activity.
	Decision	Makes a choice based on a condition and follows one and only one of the outgoing paths.
	Parallel split	Adds two parallel paths to your workflow.
	Jump	Allows you to jump to other activities in the workflow.
	End event	Ends the path of the workflow

User Tasks

User task – a central element in a workflow that allows you to assign a task to a certain user or a group of users using filters or microflows.

System Actions

Elements in this category allow you to call a microflow or another workflow.

The elements of this category are described in the table below:

Graphic	Element	Description
	Call microflow	Calls a selected microflow.
	Call workflow	Calls a selected workflow.
