Workflow actions

Workflow actions are executed in sequence when a workflow reaches a particular state. You can add any number of actions to a workflow state that will be executed when an asset reaches that state. There are a number of difference action types supported:

Action type	Description
Assign	Store a temporary variable. The value for the variable can be calculated from a complex expression.
Email	Send an email message.
If	Used to test if a certain condition is true before executing a sub-set of actions.
Else	Can only be used in conjunction with an If action to provide action sets that must be executed if the If condition evaluates to false.
Wait	Wait for a certain duration before executing a sub-set of actions,e.g. waiting for 5 days from the start date of a timesheet before sending a reminder email.
After change	Execute a sub-set of actions after a change on the object that this workflow is attached to.
For	Execute a sub-set of actions on each key/value pair of an array, these key/value pairs can be used on the children actions.

Some action types are only available in certain circumstances,e.g. Else actions can only be added to If actions. Note: Any Wait actions that are still outstanding when an asset changes state are automatically cancelled.
