Step Creation Conditions

In general, a new step starts when the step before it completes. It often makes sense to create additional conditions to determine when a step should start. For this, use step creation conditions. These are criteria that must equal True for the step to begin its creation.

Note: The following fields are supported in step creation conditions: Boolean, combobox, currency, double, email, integer, percent, phone, picklist, string, textarea, URL, MultiPicklist, and user lookup fields. Refer to Creating a Process Definition and Steps before creating step creation conditions.
