Activity Description
The Decision Activity can be used to insert a decision in the workflow. The output of the activity can be used to determine the path of workflow execution.
Activity Properties
The Decision activity has to be configured by specifying appropriate values for the different properties in the Activity Properties area. The Activity Properties can be accessed by clicking the Activity Properties tool in the tool bar or by selecting the appropriate option from the right click menu for the Decision activity. The Activity Properties are organized under the following groups of related properties. The properties under each group are described in this topic.
