Selecting the Affected Item

On this screen, select the item to be affected by this action.

Action Type	Affected Item
Orchestration workflow ("continue executing [asynchronous]")	Items that reference this item using relational field: Invokes the orchestration workflow on items in which the current item is selected as a value. Only relational fields that point to the primary table can be specified. Referenced items in relational field: Invokes the orchestration workflow on the principal item of a subtask when the specified condition is met. Only relational fields that point to the primary table can be specified. This item: Invokes the orchestration workflow on the current or initiating item.
Transition	Items that reference this item using relational field: Defines actions for the parent in parent-child transitions. This enables users to establish a parent-child relationship between multiple items and enables you to define an action that executes transitions on items in which the current item is selected as a value. The current item can be selected as a value in multiple items. The action is applied to all items that meet the criteria. Referenced items in relational field: Defines actions for child items in parent-child transitions. This lets users define a parent-child relationship between items and lets you define an action that executes transitions on items selected as values in the field. This item: Defines subsequent actions for the initiating item. For most transition types, This item refers to the initiating item. For Copy transitions, This item refers to a copied item created as a result of the Copy transition. Note that if you are setting action attributes for a state: This item is the only option available to you, and refers to either the principal item or the item affected by a trigger. The affected item will be transitioned only if its current state is valid for the transition defined in the action (that is, the transition defined in the action must emanate from the current state).
Trigger	Items that reference this item using relational field: Executes the trigger on items in which the current item is selected as a value. Select a primary Multi-Relational field to execute the trigger on items that have the current item selected as a value in this field when the condition for the action is met. Principal item: Executes the trigger on the principal item of a subtask when the specified condition is met. This option is not available for Copy transitions. Referenced items in relational field: Executes the trigger on items selected as values in the selected primary Single Relational or primary Multi-Relational field.Select a field to execute the trigger on items that are selected as a value in that field. Subtask item (triggers): Executes the trigger on subtasks when the specified condition is met. This option is not available for Copy transitions. This item: For Regular transition types, executes the trigger on the current or initiating item. For Copy transition types, executes the trigger on the copy that was created as a result of the transition. Triggerable linked items: Executes the trigger on linked items that have enabled triggers.
