A Boundary Conditional Event object represents alternate workflow routing when the Boundary Conditional Event object evaluates specified Request conditions have occurred at the moment its associating object or connector triggers. The Boundary Conditional Event object may while associate with any of the following objects and connectors:
Form Task object
Script Task object
Manual Task object
Sub Process object
Actions By Email connector
Data Connector connector
DocuSign connector
IDP connector
PDF Generator connector
Send Email connector
The Boundary Conditional Event object associates with an object or connector by attaching to it to that object or connector. Below a Boundary Conditional Event object associates with a Form Task object.
Boundary Conditional Event object associates with a Form Task object
During an in-progress Request, if the object/connector to which the Boundary Conditional Event associates has triggered but is not yet complete and the Boundary Conditional Event object's condition is met, then workflow routes through the Boundary Conditional Event object.
If the object/connector to which the Boundary Conditional Event object associates has not triggered, then the Boundary Conditional Event object does not trigger regardless of the Boundary Conditional Event object's conditions.
Use an outgoing Sequence Flow object to indicate workflow routing from the Boundary Conditional Event object if it triggers.
Use a Boundary Conditional Event object to design business solutions for nuanced business conditions in your business solution. Consider these examples:
Evaluate if a purchase receipt is required: A PDF Generator connector can generate a PDF for a receipt in a purchase-related Process. Associate a Boundary Conditional Event object with the PDF Generator connector to evaluate if the connector generates a Screen of the receipt based on a Request variable value the purchasing agent has previously selected to indicate if a receipt is required.
Evaluate if enrolled courses are valid prior to payment: A university student's Form Task object triggers to pay for course enrollments that semester. Associate that Form Task object with a Boundary Conditional Event object to evaluate if all enrolled courses are still valid at the time of payment: if any enrolled course offering or schedule has changed, route to a Send Email connector to send an email to that student notifying of course changes prior to payment.
An object or connector associated with a Boundary Conditional Event object may also associate with the following objects in the same object/connector:
Boundary Timer Event object
Boundary Error Event object
Boundary Conditional Event object
A Sub Process object associated with a Boundary Conditional Event may also associate with a Boundary Message Event object.
Configure whether a Boundary Conditional Event object interrupts the workflow when this object's specified Request conditions are met:
Interrupting workflow: When workflow routes through the Boundary Conditional Event object, workflow is interrupted and does not route through the default scenario route. As highlighted in the example below, workflow routes through the Boundary Conditional Event object if this object's specified Request conditions are met.
Non-interrupting workflow: Workflow routes both through the Boundary Conditional Event object and the default scenario, thereby creating parallel workflow in that Request. As highlighted in the example below, workflow routes through the Boundary Conditional Event object if this object's specified Request conditions are met; however, workflow also routes through the default scenario when the Manual Task object completes.
Processes that use Boundary Conditional Event objects can be complex. Therefore, use it to test workflow variations while designing such Processes.

Processes: View Processes
See the Process permissions or ask your Administrator for assistance.
Your user account or group membership must have the following permissions to configure a Boundary Conditional Event object in the Process model unless your user account has the Make this user a Super Admin setting selected:
Processes: Edit Processes
Processes: View Processes
See the Process permissions or ask your Administrator for assistance.
Follow these steps to add a Boundary Conditional Event object to the Process model:
View your Processes. The Processes page displays.
Create a new Process or click the Open Modeler icon
to edit the selected Process model. Process Modeler displays.Add one of the following Process model objects or connectors to your Process model in which to associate with the Boundary Conditional Event object:
Actions By Email connector
Data Connector connector
DocuSign connector
IDP connector
PDF Generator connector

Settings
The Boundary Conditional Event object has the following panels that contain settings:
Configuration panel
Advanced panel
Documentation panel
Configuration Panel Settings
The Boundary Conditional Event object has the following settings in the Properties panel:
Edit the Object Name
An object name is a human-readable reference for a Process object. Process Modeler automatically assigns the name of a Process object with its object type. However, an object's name can be changed.
Permissions are required to do this.
Follow these steps to edit the name for a Boundary Conditional Event object:
Select the Boundary Conditional Event object from the Process model in which to edit its name.
Ensure that the Configuration panel displays. If not, show it. The Name setting displays. This is a required setting.
In the Name setting, edit the selected object's name and then press Enter.
Enter the Request Condition(s) that Triggers the Object
Enter the Request condition(s) that triggers the Boundary Conditional Catch Event object, thereby thereby allowing workflow to route through that object. A Boundary Conditional Catch Event object only triggers when the specified condition(s) in that Request are met while the object/connector to which the Boundary Conditional Event associates has triggered but is not yet complete, thereby allowing workflow to route through its outgoing Sequence Flow object(s). Otherwise, workflow routes through the default scenario route.
Permissions are required to do this.
See Expression Syntax Components to Specify Request Conditions That Trigger a Boundary Conditional Event Object.
Follow these steps to enter the Request conditions that trigger a Boundary Conditional Catch Event object:
Select the Boundary Conditional Catch Event object from the Process model in which to edit its name.
Ensure that the Configuration panel displays. If not, show it. Panels to configure this object display.
Expand the Configuration panel if it is not presently expanded, and then locate the Condition setting. This is a required setting.
Enter the Expression Syntax Components that trigger this Boundary Conditional Catch Event object and then press Enter, thereby allowing workflow to route through its outgoing Sequence Flow object(s). See Expression Syntax Components to Specify Request Conditions That Trigger a Conditional Start Event Object.
Interrupt the Default Workflow
Indicate whether the Boundary Conditional Event object interrupts the best-case scenario workflow:
Interrupting workflow: When workflow routes through the Boundary Conditional Event object, workflow is interrupted and does not route through the default scenario route. As highlighted in the example below, workflow routes through the Boundary Conditional Event object if this object's specified Request conditions are met and the Manual Task object has not yet completed.
Non-interrupting workflow: Workflow routes both through the Boundary Conditional Event object and the default scenario, thereby creating parallel workflow in that Request. As highlighted in the example below, workflow routes through the Boundary Conditional Event object if this object's specified Request conditions are met; however, workflow also routes through the default scenario when the Manual Task object completes.
Follow these steps to indicate if this Boundary Conditional Event object interrupts the default workflow when it triggers:
Select the Boundary Conditional Event object from the Process model in which to indicate if it interrupts the default workflow.
Ensure that the Configuration panel displays. If not, show it. Panels to configure this object display.
Expand the Configuration panel if it is not presently expanded, and then locate the Interrupting setting.
From the Interrupting checkbox, indicate whether this Boundary Conditional Event object interrupts the default workflow when it triggers. When the Interrupting checkbox is selected, which is the default setting, this object interrupts the default workflow.
Advanced Panel Settings
Edit the Node's Identifier Value
Process Modeler automatically assigns a unique value to each Process node added to a Process model. However, a node's identifier value can be changed if it is unique to all other nodes in the Process model, including the Process model's identifier value.
All identifier values for all nodes in the Process model must be unique.
Follow these steps to edit the identifier value for a Boundary Conditional Event object:
Select the Boundary Conditional Event object from the Process model in which to edit its identifier value.
Ensure that the Configuration panel displays. If not, show it. Panels to configure this object display.
