Purpose
This workflow card is designed to automate actions based on the state (checked or unchecked) of a checkbox within your ERP system. By evaluating the checkbox's condition, it facilitates the triggering of specific processes or the enforcement of certain rules within the application.
Components of the Card
Field Name
Description: Specifies the name of the checkbox field that will be evaluated.
Detail: This should match the exact field label or identifier used in the system. It determines which checkbox's state is being monitored.
Boolean
Description: Defines the condition that triggers the workflow.
Options:
True: The workflow triggers if the checkbox is checked.
False: The workflow triggers if the checkbox is unchecked.
Functionality
State Detection: The card continuously monitors the state of the specified checkbox field.
Condition Evaluation:
The system checks whether the checkbox is in the state (checked or unchecked) specified by the Boolean condition.
Action Execution:
True Condition: If the checkbox’s state matches the specified Boolean condition (either true for checked or false for unchecked), the system initiates the associated actions. These could include enabling or disabling form fields, triggering notifications, starting workflows, or updating records.
False Condition: If the checkbox’s state does not match the condition, alternative or no actions may be taken, depending on the workflow setup.
User Interactions
Setup and Configuration: Users configure the card by selecting the checkbox field from a list of available fields and setting the Boolean condition. This setup process should be intuitive, typically involving a simple dropdown menu for field selection and a toggle for the Boolean condition.
Monitoring and Reporting: Provides functionalities for users to monitor the status of this condition, possibly through a dashboard that shows real-time updates on which conditions are active or triggered.
Error Handling and Notifications: Ensures that users are notified if there are any discrepancies or errors in the condition checking process, such as system failures to read the checkbox state.
The "Checkbox Field Condition" workflow card is a fundamental tool for managing dynamic forms and documents within an ERP system, where user inputs can dictate subsequent data processes. By automating actions based on the state of a checkbox, this card enhances workflow efficiency and ensures that system behaviors align with user inputs. Clear documentation of this card will help users effectively implement it within their operations, allowing for better control over form behaviors and process automations.
