If checked, the workflow will be run.

If unchecked, the workflow will not be run.

Displays the type of Business rule.

Options are:

• External Page
• Stored Procedure
• WebApp Event
• WebApp Event (Private)
• Workflow

NOTE: Refer to Register Workflow Views for information about adding Business Rules to a workflow.

If checked and the corresponding Validation rule returns zero records or if it returns records with a severity level less than Error, the Business rule executes.

If checked and the corresponding Validation rule returns any record that fails with a severity level of Error, the Business rule executes.

If checked and the workflow is on an event that is set to run in the background, it will execute twice, once in the foreground and later in the background.

Displays the name of the Alternative View. Using an alternate view will allow for a different set of data when the workflow is created at runtime. The view will still be restricted by the current record's primary keys. If multiple records are returned, then multiple workflows will be sent out.

Click to open the Advanced Workflow page to configure workflow fields that determine what displays in the subject line, body text, and other fields of the workflow. These fields must be added to the view and aliased correctly to be used in the workflow. Refer to Configure Workflow Fields for more information about configuring the workflow email sent with this workflow.

NOTE: The Workflow Fields button is not accessible until Save is clicked.

Displays the Message Type box that appears when the workflow is executed. Message Types are configured in System Admin > Configuration > Message Types. This configuration controls how the pop- up message displays for the user, including the color of the message box and the image that appears in it. For example, if the message contains as serious error, select a message type with red coloring and an error X as the icon.

Displays a user-entered comment about the workflow.

Link Properties

Click to open the Workflow Links page to create custom workflow links. Refer to Configure Workflow Links for more information.

NOTE: The Workflow Links button is not accessible until Save is clicked.

The Link User ID used for anonymous users. This list box displays all Anonymous user accounts. Refer to the Workflow Views Overview for more information on creating an anonymous user account

Displays the number of days the workflow link is active and therefore accessible.

If checked, the workflow link can be used multiple times until it expires. Otherwise, the user is denied access to the workflow link after one use.

Displays the page the page that opens when the user clicks the link. Options in this list box display as [Component Name : Page Name], for example, Collect : Copy Targets.

Restricts page access between two pages bound by key fields. Uncheck the check box to deactivate the option and allow a link from one page to another without restrictions. This property is used in conjunction with the Binding Field Names option. Normally when two pages contain shared key fields (such as Orders and Order Details), users will want to restrict the link to page by binding key. Turning this option off allows the user to link from one page to another without restriction.

Displays the binding fields that are required when the primary keys are not available or if the primary keys have different names. Binding field names are needed when the linking relationship cannot be inferred, because keys are either not defined or have different names from parent to child. Specify them here as one or more parent=child pairs, separated by commas. For example: CustomerID=CustID; or EmployeeID=EmployeeID, Department=DepartNo. In cases where the primary keys are not defined, but the names are identical between parent and child, the =child portion may be omitted.

Business Rule Properties

Displays the name of the component and page name where the event associated with this Business rule runs.

Displays the name of the event on the page associated with this Business rule.

Displays the name of an optional parameter view that can provide secondary data to pass to a shared event.

This view contains columns that are available as extra columns to map to parameters to send to a shared event. This view will be executed as part of the shared event, pulling in an associated record to the executing record, and assigning the other column data to mapped parameters. This parameter view allows another view to provide more data to an event without putting all the columns in the horizontal or vertical view on the page.

This view is not required. If the field is blank, and the public WebApp event requires parameters be passed in to execute the event, the parameters set on the Page Event Parameters page are used.

Click to open the Page Event Rule Parameters page to add, edit and delete parameters that can be passed to this Business rule from a Public WebApp Event.
