Transitions

The following types of transitions are used in the Expense report process:

• Unconditional transition - Most of the transitions in the Expense Report process are of this type. The instance flows in the direction of the arrow after an activity has finished.

• Condition transition - The instance flows through a condition transition if an expression defined for the transition evaluates to true. If a default transition also flows from the same activity, the condition transition (when true) is evaluated first, and the default is taken only if the condition evaluates to false.

• Default transition - The instance flows through a default transition if all other condition transitions evaluate to false.

  You do not insert default transitions. Instead, an unconditional transition from an activity becomes the default automatically when you add one or more condition transitions to that activity.

• Due transition - The instance flows through this transition after a specified period of time in the origin activity. In the Expense Report process, this transition triggers the Send Reminder activity.
