Defining conditions for starting a process
Ensure that a process starts only when needed in a case by defining conditions for running the process. By starting processes conditionally, you save time because case workers, such as customer service representatives (CSRs), perform only relevant tasks.
For example, you can start a process of reviewing a job application only if the location of a candidate matches your current business needs.For relevant training materials, see the Skipping a process or a stage module on Pega Academy.
