Creating chained processes

Some applications require a series of processes that are linked or chained together by using workflow.

To create a chained process, you must perform the following tasks:

1. Add a field to your approval request form to contain the process status
2. Define the Process Done rules to populate this field with the appropriate status value
3. Define workflow that tests the conditions for running each process and initiates Run Process actions by using application commands to start each process

The Lunch Scheduler application includes an example of three chained processes. For information about chaining approval processes with examples from the Lunch Scheduler application, see Chaining-approval-processes.
