Decision Block

The Decision block prompts an operator in Runtime to make a choice. An unlimited number of decision paths can be created, however there must be at least one choice available.

To add a Decision block to your Workflow, follow the below steps.

Note: The Decision block can only be used in Interactive Workflows.
  1. In Project Explorer, expand Workflows. Double-click the Workflow, or right-click Interactive Workflows to Add one.
  2. Drag and drop the Decision block into the work area from the Toolbox.
  3. In the Properties grid, select the drop-down for the Display Text. Type in the text you would like to display the operator in Runtime. This could be a prompt or some information the operator will need to know before selecting an option.
  4. Connect the previous block and connections for the exit paths.
  5. In the Properties grid, expand Decision Buttons and set the Button Caption for each button.
