The Condition node is available in GlobalCapture and GlobalAction. |
Use the Condition Node to build conditional decision making into a workflow process. Decisions can be based upon process data, fields, and searches. Each condition node supports simple boolean logic or complex logic that allows for multiple outputs.
Start by a Condition Node from the Nodes Pane to the Design Canvas.
Condition Node Settings
Title
A Title is required. A good Title is important because it shows up in the process history and can help with troubleshooting workflow errors. Your Title should be concise and informative.
Description
Provide a Description of your condition. Detail the purpose of the condition, the operations, etc. Description are helpful when revisiting the workflow in the future and by those who did not design the workflow but need to make modifications. The Description will appear in the process history.
Basic Settings
Basic settings allow for simple boolean logic. The condition is evaluated as True or False and follows the appropriate path.
Select a Type from the drop down list.
Process Property
Process properties are properties collected by the system about every document moving through a workflow. These properties represent information about the workflow such as Page Count, Batch ID, Original File Name, etc. These properties can be access and used for conditional routing.
Configure a Basic Condition Using a Process Property
Select the Property from the Process Property drop down list.
Select the appropriate operator from the Condition drop down list. The conditions will vary based on the process property selected.
Enter the Value to compare the select property to. This value can be another Process Property, a Process Field, a Field, or a hardcoded value. For conditions where a Value is not needed, such as Is Empty, the Value input will disappear.

Process Field
Process Fields are user created fields in GlobalCapture and GlobalSearch that can be used to store data. These fields can be used in a wide variety of ways such as: storing data extracted from the document, keeping a count of the number of loops executed, storing workflow tracking information, etc.
Configure a Basic Condition Using a Process Field
Select the Process Field from the Based on Process Field drop down list. This list will contain all Process Fields listed in the Process Field pane.
Select the appropriate operator from the Condition drop down list. The conditions will vary based on the process property selected.

Field (GlobalAction Only)
Fields are only available in GlobalAction and are a list of fields in the GlobalSearch database to which the GlobalAction workflow is associated.
Configure a Basic Condition Using a Field
Select the Field from the Based on Field drop down list. This list will contain all Fields in the GlobalSearch database.
Select the appropriate operator from the Condition drop down list. The conditions will vary based on the process property selected.
Enter the Value to compare the select property to. This value can be another Process Property, a Process Field, a Field, or a hardcoded value. For conditions where a Value is not needed, such as Is Empty, the Value input will disappear.
Batch Search
Batch Searches are GlobalCapture Searches. When using a Batch Search in your Basic Condition node configuration, if the search returns results, the document moving through the workflow will follow the True path. If the Batch Search returns no results, it will follow the false path.
| Note |
|---|
The number of results returned by the search and any data associated with those results is not considered. Using a Batch Search simply checks to see if any documents are returned. |
Configure a Basic Condition Using a Batch Search
Select a Search from the Based on Search drop down list. This is a list of available GlobalCapture Searches to which you are secured.
Any Search Prompts that are available in the search will appear below the Based on Search field. Enter data to narrow down the results that will be returned.

Leaving the Search Prompts empty will return all documents for that search. |
