Scripting with decisions

In this workflow, we will see how decisions can be implemented into scripts. You will learn how to create basic and custom decisions.

Getting ready

We just need a working Orchestrator, and you will need the rights to create new workflows and run them. We will work with the Orchestrator Client.

We need a new workflow where we can add a decision. You also should know how to work with logs.

For the Decision activity element, we will be using the example workflow 00.00 BasicWorkflow, which is stored in the Basic Helper folder.

How to do it...
