A workflow consists of states and transitions. A state represents the status of an object. This state is defined by the attribute values of an object. Each state must be accessible via at least one transition.
A transition represents a transition to another state. A command chain must be defined for each transition. This command chain is executed when the transition takes place. A command chain contains any number of commands. Empty chains are also allowed.
When adjusting a workflow, you must specify the new and the changed states. You can omit all of the unchanged states.
The following chapters describe the adding of states and transitions. For details on the configuration of command chains, see Configuration of the command chain catalog.
