Guidelines for successful conditional branching
Number of branches and conditions: A Conditional node is limited to 12 outbound branches. Each branch can have up to 12 conditions.
Nested branching: Nesting occurs when a Conditional node directly follows a branch of another Conditional node. You can have up to two nested Conditional nodes.
Execution sequence: Branches are checked from the top branch to the bottom. The top branch conditions are checked first. If the conditions are satisfied, the top branch is taken. Otherwise, the second branch is checked, and so on. Branch order is defined in the Conditional Branch Settings dialog.
Number of documents per job: Single document jobs can be processed by the Conditional Branching node. Multiple document jobs can be processed only if a Join node precedes the conditional branch.
Fail branches: A Fail branch can be added to Conditional node. The Fail branch is not considered part of the Conditional Branch and is not displayed in the Conditional Branch Settings dialog.
JDF Export: Workflows with a Conditional Branch do not support JDF Export.
Conditions from more than one category: Different categories can be combined in one branch. For example, a branch can contain both PDF and JDF conditions.
Modifying conditional branches in Workflow Submission Client: You can add or remove conditions for a Conditional branch. You cannot do the following:
•Add or remove branches.
•Rearrange the order of the branches.
•Change branch names.
