Configure conditional activities

You can use conditional activities to model steps which are either skipped or completed during run time based on the values of specific process variables. The decision to skip or complete a conditional activity can be made by the runtime user or programmatically, based on scripted rules.

A sample business process definition (BPD) that implements conditional activities is available in INSTALL_ROOT\BPM\Lombardi\imports\conditional-activity-sample.twx. To understand how conditional activities work, you can import the sample process application, and then review the comments in the Conditional Activities BPD.
