Documentation

Definition

If this indicator is set, you can model a workflow in the workflow builder without having already defined any tasks. When you insert a step into the workflow definition you are not taken to the step definition screen. The step is only added in the graphic.

Use

You model a workflow from the available step types in the subject with the same name, by using drag&drop. There is also an outcome icon that you can use to model additional outcomes to activities and multiple conditions, as well as new branches in forks.

To use the workflow that you have modeled, you must complete the step definition. A syntax check for the workflow will show all the specifications you still need to enter (step labels, tasks, and so on).
