Workflow Builder
Creating conditional branches
Conditional branching provides an added level of logic to a workflow, allowing it to examine the properties of submitted jobs, and then act accordingly without human intervention.
You can add one or more conditional branches to a workflow, each with one or more
During execution, the condition(s) of each branch are compared with the information retrieved from the job. The first branch whose conditions or specifications “match” the properties retrieved from the job will be taken.
Each Conditional node can include up to 12 branches; each branch can include up to 12 conditions that must be satisfied.
You can specify two main categories of conditions:
•
•JDF
For more information about these conditions, see the Conditions to Add table.
The branches of a Conditional node can be merged into a common workflow. For more information, see Linking conditional branches.
Conditional branching provides an alternative to using Preflight as a means to filter and route jobs. For more information, see Using preflight as a filter.
