Document flow routing based on workflow

Below is a document flow

Is it possible to have the routing based on workflow parameters rather than the document?

File is picked up and translated.

Before it is sent a user who will check some values (Workflow1). If the values are correct the user has an action button to pass or fail.

It's this pass/fail action I wish to use in the routing but since this is a document flow, the only routing conditions allowed seem to be from the document only.

Is it possible to have the workflow actions in the document flow?

What Rajita has suggested to you is:

- define ouput parameter in WF

- find an attribute of document in Data flow that you can use for storing the output of WF

- map WF output value to the attribute

- create routing in Data flow based on the value of the attribute

We can't see what is actual document going through flow, but if it is standard BOD, you could pick up an element that is not used/filled by your source origin.

You can use the output parameter in Workflow1 and assign user action response to it (pass/fail). Then within the document flow, you have to do parameter mapping between workflow parameter and one of the attributes in the dataflow document. So hereafter you can use that attribute in routing condition. Hope this is what you mean.

Hi Rajitha, thanks for the reply. I understand your answer but instead of using the attribute in the dataflow document I wish to use the conditions built in the workflow i.e. from Workflow1.

When using the condition builder in the Document Flow, the only options I have are from document attributes rather than Workflow1 (Pass/Fail).

Thanks Rajita and Tilen, it all makes sense now.
