Branching Workflow Example

In the following example, State A branches:

In the Blueprint interface, users would have one of two Transitions to choose from in the Workflow drop-down. The following Workflow XML represents the above diagram:

Branching is implicitly defined in the Workflow:

  • (A) State A's name (which is conveniently "State A") is directly referenced in Transitions.
  • (B) The FromState for this particular Transition is State A, and flows to State B.
  • (C) The FromState for this Transition is also State A, but the Transition flows to State C.

    When a State is referenced more than once in a FromState, that means it presents Transitions to multiple States.
