Unconditional Transition

Provides detailed information on the Unconditional Transition.

When your process requires unrestricted workflow between two flow objects, you should add an Unconditional Transition. This type of transition indicates that no conditions exist to prevent instances from moving to the next flow object. Therefore, the transition occurs unconditionally.

After you create the transition, a line with a directional arrow connects the two flow objects on the design workspace. No icon is displayed next to the transition.

Note: If you do not want to see the Unconditional Transitions, disable the Show Unconditional Transitions property from the View menu, Transitions option.

Rules

The following rules apply to unconditional transitions:

Each flow object must have at least one outgoing unconditional transition. Exceptions to this rule are the following:
- if the flow object has a due transition. The Split and Multiple gateways are the only ones that must have an unconditional transition, as an exception to this rule.
- Global Creation, Global, Global Automatic and End flow objects have no outgoing transitions.
Each flow object must have only one outgoing unconditional transition. Exceptions to this rule are:
- Split gateways can have more than one outgoing unconditional transition.
- Interactive activities may have more than one outgoing unconditional transition if the User selects transition check box is selected on the Interactive's Activity Property dialog box.
Flow objects cannot have an unconditional and a conditional transition to the same destination flow object.
