Building and Configuring Workflows
- Workflow Design Basics
  - Workflow Design Basics
    Workflows are configured collections of subprocesses, activities, reference data, and functional resources that are used to complete the defined process from start to finish.
    - Bind a resource property to a workflow or subprocess
    - Add an expression to a workflow or subprocess
    - Remove a bind, expression, or property value from a workflow or subprocess
    - Workflow Binds
      A binding allows you to specify the source from which the actual value will be obtained. When the value for the source changes, the bound property value will automatically update, as well.
    - Workflow Expressions
      A workflow expression is an algebraic expression that defines a calculation that the system performs at run time. Workflow expression syntax allows you to manipulate strings, test for relationships and conditions, and perform arithmetic calculations.
    - Workflow Literals
      A literal value allows you to enter a static value for the resource you are configuring.
    - Workflow Properties
      You can use properties to further define the resource you are configuring.
    - Limits for Workflows
      There are restrictions to the elements that comprise a workflow. These limits ensure a quality functioning workflow.
    - Workflow Editor User Interface
      The Workflow Editor tab displays the graphic interface for creating and editing a workflow, as well as navigating between panels during configuration.

Workflow Literals

A literal value allows you to enter a static value for the resource you are configuring.

Important: Literal values must match the displayed data type.
