Workflow Editor Update

Zoom Controls

New controls on the toolbar make it easier to work in complex work flows. You can zoom out to see the entire workflow graph or zoom in to modify specific sections.

	Zoom to Area	Zooms to an area of the workflow that you select.
	Zoom In\Out	Zooms in and out when you hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse up or down. You can also zoom by using the mouse wheel.
	Zoom to Fit	Displays the entire workflow in the available space.
	Actual Size	Displays the workflow at its original (100%) size.

User Interface Simplification

The appearance of transition objects has been simplified. A combination of color and icons make it easier to distinguish between transition types and identify transition settings.

	Normal transition	Users run the transition to change file states.
	Automatic transition	All files in the source state automatically pass through the transition.
	Parallel transition (new feature)	A specified number of users must promote a file through a transition before the file's state changes.
	Normal transition with notifications set
	Normal transition with authentication set

State objects have also been simplified. Icons in the lower right corner are now used to identify state object properties rather than to initiate changes. For example:

	Initial state
	Ignore permissions in previous states

New Properties Dialog Boxes

To open both state and transition properties dialog boxes, you click the objects in the workflow map.

Tabs have been added to the dialog boxes to provide easier and more consistent access to all settings.

Both the state and transition properties dialog boxes include:

• A Permissions tab, which replaces the permissions task pane from previous versions of Enterprise PDM.
• A Notifications tab, which provides access to the Folder Notification dialog box of the redesigned Notifications Editor.
• A Revision Numbers tab, which replaces the Increment Revision Command section of the state properties dialog box and the Change revision counters option of the transition properties dialog box.

Transition properties dialog boxes also include Conditions and Actions tabs.
