6.5.3 Decision Step
This type of step selects between exit transitions depending on the values of variables defined in
prior steps. See
decision step itself is very simple; you can edit only the step name and description. The workflow
path is determined by the transitions.
From a decision step, you can set Conditional and Else transitions. Every decision step must have an
Else transition and at least one Conditional transition. The Else transition leads to a workflow path
that is followed if none of the criteria for the Conditional transitions is met.
6.5.4 Mail Step
This step sends a prewritten e-mail. A mail step includes the following attributes:
Name of step
To addressee
From addressee
Subject of email
Body of email
From a mail step, you can set a Conditional, Unconditional, Timeout, Alert, or Error transition. An
Error transition should always be included so error conditions can be handled properly.
NOTE: If the first step of a workflow fails without an error transition, the iTRAC process cannot
proceed.
