Defining local actions for a stage

You can define flow actions that users can run when a case is in a specific stage. By allowing users to choose when additional processing is needed, you can reduce complexity in the life cycle of a case.

  1. In the Explorer panel, click Cases, and then click the case type that you want to open.

  2. On the Workflow tab, click Optional actions.

  3. In the Stage-only actions section, click a stage name and click +Action.

  4. In the palette that is displayed, do either of the following:

  5. Replace the default label for the action with an action name.

  6. Optional: To control when users can perform the action, press the Down Arrow key in the Allowed when field and select the name of a when condition.

  7. Click Save.

At run time, the flow action is available in the header of a case when the case enters the stage.
