Back Forward Likelihood

A likelihood is a value between 1 and 100, interpreted as an assumed or known probability associated with a flow action.

For example, a likelihood of 66 on a flow action labeled Accept means that users completing an assignment linked to that flow action are expected to choose the Accept flow action two times out of three.

Likelihood values are recorded as you edit a flow rule using Visio, and appear in the Diagram tab of a flow rule. They determine the order of presentation of user choices on the Perform form.

In this example, the connector flow action Resolve this work is marked as default and appears first. The others appear in order of decreasing likelihood. CAJOM 12/17/03 Alternatively, you can configure the Take Action area so that the one considered most likely appears by default; buttons allow users to choose another flow action.

After the flow rule is saved and deployed, developers can compare the actual results with the likelihood factors. Click the  Flow Analysis   button on the Design tab of the flow rule to retrieve and summarize this data.
