Workflow Builder [Tcode: SWDD] - Navigation Area...

Former Member — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 20:32:31 GMT

Hello everyone,

Quick question: I just inserted a step in an already existing workflow using the drag-n-drop user interface facility and, from a graphical point of view, the step was inserted exactly where I wanted it. However, in the "Navigation Area" section (left side of th screen), the step appears at the "bottom" (last step) of the Steps list but, graphically, this step isn't the last one.. it's the 4th of a 5 step workflow.

Everything works OK but I find it confusing when you compare the "textual" list of steps (Navigation Area) and the Graphical view of the all the steps since they do not show up in the same order.

Anyway to fix the "Navigation Area" so that the steps will be listed in the "natural" workflow order ?

Thanks.

José

Hello José,

this is nothing to bother about. The list of steps is ordered by the internal step Id. This Id depends on the order of step creation and not on the order of the flow of the workflow. As a workflow can include different parallel / alternative branches the steps can't be brought into a sequential list so the Id is used for ordering.

Kind Regards

Roman
