•
Group and OU—User’s Group and OU membership.
•
AD Property—Active Directory property value.
•
Collections—Deployment system collection membership for both users and computers.
•
Question Condition—Answer that a user gives to a question when submitting the request.
•
Catalog Item—Catalog item properties, such as cost and inventory availability.
Conditions Tab of Workflow Properties Dialog Box
The conditions that you apply to a workflow step determine when the step should apply:
•
Conditions specified here are limited to Include, meaning you define conditions when you want the item to apply.
•
Adding a Question Condition enables you to base the condition on an answer that an end user gives when submitting the request.
•
An additional condition, Catalog Item, offers the ability to include a step based on the license availability and cost of a catalog item.
Both workflows and workflow steps can have conditions applied to them. Conditions determine whether the workflow and / or workflow step should be applied to the given situation:
•
Single workflow applied to catalog item—When you assign a single workflow to a catalog item, the conditions of the workflow are not evaluated; only the workflow step conditions are evaluated.
•
Multiple workflows applied to catalog item—When you apply more than one workflow to a catalog item, the conditions of the workflow as well as the steps within that workflow are evaluated.
