A classic workflow can be triggered by the following events on records in the CDS:
- Creating a record
- Updating a record
- Deleting a record
- Changing the status of a record
- Change of ownership (assigning) of a record
The following screenshot shows the triggers for a classic workflow:
Figure 5.3 – Triggers
On the update trigger, you can define the fields that will trigger the workflow if they are changed.
Only specify the fields required for the update trigger. Do not select all fields.
The CDS does not differentiate an update when a field is updated with the same value. Updating a field to the same value will trigger the workflow.
A classic workflow can also be run manually. This is called on-demand. Classic workflows can also be called from other workflows. This is known as a child process.
The following screenshot shows where a classic workflow can be run:
