Adding a Conditional Transition

You can add conditional transitions directly from the activity context menu.

1. In the process design editor, right-click on the activity from which the transition will flow, and click Add conditional transition ().
2. Click on the activity the transition will flow to. Note that as you move the mouse, the transition line is shown. The Transition dialog box appears.
3. In the Name field, enter a name for the new transition.
4. Switch to the Properties page of the Transition dialog box.
5. Enter a conditional expression using PBL syntax. This expression should evaluate to a boolean (a value which is either true or false).

   The condition can use instance variables. To see the instance variables which are available, click on the Instance Variables icon.

   The following illustrates valid and invalid conditional expressions, where total is an instance variable of type Decimal:

   Valid Expression	Invalid Expression
   true	"true"
   total > 2500	2500
   total > 0	total

6. Click OK.
