Creating a Workflow

You can create a new workflow in an application.

When you create a new application workflow, the only elements that exist in the new workflow are system fields; the Submit, New, Email, and Deleted states; the Any item; and the Submit, Update, and Delete transitions. You add states, transitions, decisions, and other objects from the Workflow Palette at the right side of the workflow editor. Any sub-workflows derived from the new workflow inherit the states, transitions, decisions, swimlanes, and annotations you added.

To create a workflow:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • In App Explorer, right-click the Application Workflows heading, and select Add New Workflow.
    • In the New area of the Home tab of the Ribbon, click Element and then Workflow.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • In App Explorer, right-click the workflow you just added, select Rename, type the new name (32 characters or less), and press the Enter key.
    • On the General tab of the Property Editor, type the new name in the Name field, and then press the Tab or Enter key.
