Workflow Course: Exercise 6

Step 1 - Use decision nodes

The idea of this exercise is user put some number value at starting workflow and then in next form try to guess the number.

To do it you should:

• Create two forms with inputs value, one to put the value and other to guess the number.
• Create a task where to guess the number and assign task to actor okmAdmin.
• Create a decision node where to decide if user okmAdmin has guessed the number.
