Workflow Builder

Creating conditional branches

Conditional branching provides an added level of logic to a

workflow, allowing it to examine the properties of submitted jobs,

and then act accordingly without human intervention.

You can add one or more conditional branches to a workflow,

each with one or more user-designated conditions that specify the

desired attributes or properties of the submitted jobs.

During execution, the condition(s) of each branch are compared

with the information retrieved from the job. The first branch whose

conditions or specifications “match” the properties retrieved from

the job will be taken.

Each Conditional node can include up to 12 branches; each

branch can include up to 12 conditions that must be satisfied.

You can specify two main categories of conditions:

• PDF-related conditions

• JDF ticket-related conditions

For more information about these conditions, see the Conditions

to Add table.

The branches of a Conditional node can be merged into a

common workflow. For more information, see Linking conditional

branches.

Conditional branching provides an alternative to using Preflight as

a means to filter and route jobs. For more information, see Using

preflight as a filter.
