Conditions

workflow consists of conditions and actions each branch of the workflow can contain multiple conditions and actions conditions are branches of the workflow tree when you set up conditions, set them up according to decision points in your business processing conditional branch example create conditional branches according to the flow of your business processes for example, if you are setting up a process for handling phishing email scans, you can anticipate that some email accounts will be compromised, while others will not, and still others might not even need scanning in this example, you can set up the branch with these conditions and actions the phishing workflow is set to look for the incident type = "phishing alert " it processes that condition and then branches to these additional actions 5 or more hits scanned, no hits never scanned each branch in the above example can then have multiple actions branched off, as necessary to add an additional condition, select the root node or another conditional node and click new condition on the workflow toolbar each workflow has a default action condition which, by default, does not have any conditions any action defined within default action will run once each time the workflow runs you can define multiple conditions in one step if you use evaluation type as a secondary conditional field set the field to and to indicate that all the conditions defined within should be met in order to execute the branch set it to or to specify that a branch should be executed upon one of the conditions being met conditional operators you can set up different conditional operators for the field you choose to conditionalize the operators differ by field type the operators are mostly self explanatory here is a list of the conditional operators with which you can set up conditions equals does not equal contains excludes less than less than or equal greater than greater than or equal has value does not have value has been modified matches regex when you use a reference field as a conditional operator, it is dependent upon the field type of the referenced field more on the has been modified conditional operator when you use a has been modified condition, you are setting a condition that triggers an assigned action when the content of the selected field changes the condition is triggered any time the field's content changes, including changes from an empty field to a field with content, or from one value to another existing value
