Adding a Transition

You can add transitions between states in an application workflow or sub-workflow.

To add any transition (except the Copy and Update transitions) between states:

From the Workflow Palette, drag a transition type onto the state in which you want the new transition to begin.
Release the mouse button.
Click the state in which you want the new transition to end.
Type a name for the transition, and then press the Enter key.

Note: You can also double-click a transition in the Workflow Palette to add the transition to the workflow. The transition is placed between the two most recently selected states, and points from the first state that was selected to the second state. If no states were selected, no transition is added. For the Delete transition, only one state needs to have been selected, and the transition is automatically drawn from that state to the Delete state.

To add a Copy or Update transition to a state:

From the Workflow Palette, drag the Copy or Update transition onto the state.
Type a name for the transition, and then press the Enter key.

Note: You can also double-click a Copy or Update transition in the Workflow Palette to add the transition to the workflow. The transition is added to the selected step. For these transitions, only one state needs to have been selected.

Note: Transition buttons are automatically added to the top of forms. Users click these buttons to execute transitons. You can replace the buttons with button controls (buttons, hyperlinks, or images) that can be placed anywhere on the form. For more information, see Behavior Tab of the Control Property Editor.
