Requirements are used to control two sets of behavior:
Tasks
Tasks have associated Requirements that will inform the workflow engine whether that task should be executed or not.Info title Example The Second_Approval task could be configured with a requirement to only execute when the Total is greater than $1,000. This would mean that if the requirement wasn't met, the workflow engine would skip the Second_Approval Task.
IMPORTANT: If you decide to use this recommended configuration, the appropriate positive action on the Second_Approval task should be set with the Default Path option.
Task Outcomes
Task actions have Outcomes. Each outcome can also be configured based on a Requirement. This is an alternative to the above method.Info title Example In the following example, we have configured the Outcome Tasks for the First_Approval task to either take the user to the Second_Approval or the Complete task. The Requirements have been configured on the Outcome Task to go to the Second_Approval Task if the Total is greater than $1,000 and directly to the Complete phase if the total is Not greater than $1,000.
