Specifying the properties of wait nodes

You use the Workflow Designer or Workflow Designer (Advanced) application to specify the properties of wait nodes. Wait nodes specify that the process is halted until a specific event occurs.

About this task

You can specify the following properties for wait nodes:


Title
Used to specify or modify the node name and the description
Wait List
Used to specify one or more system events. The first event to occur triggers the record to resume its progress through the process. Event names consist of three or four lowercase words, delimited by periods. For example, maximo.workorder.add or maximo.po.statuschange.appr..
  • The first word is always maximo.
  • The second word is the name of the business object (MBO). For example, po.
  • The third word is one of the following words:
    • add
    • delete
    • init
    • statuschange. If the event is a status change, the event name has a fourth word, which is the name of the status. For example, appr.
    • update
Notifications
Used to specify the notifications that the system should generate as a record leaves the node. You can use a communication template to create one or more notifications. You can also specify the subject, the message, and the role recipients manually.
