Order Guide Workflow vs Catalog Item Workflow

[jshafton21]

We have a on boarding process that currently uses an order guide, every catalog item in the order guide has the same workflow attached to them. The problem is these workflows kick off in parallel. Is there any way to create an Order Guide workflow that supersedes the Catalog Item's workflow?

Hi Jared, yes, there's a way of doing this.

You could have one master workflow the one is going to kick off at the same time of the other dependent workflows, but the master will be the one responsible of setting a variable to X value for the one all of the other dependent workflows have a waiting for condition on the first activity.

The key part is that once the variable is set on the master workflow, then the master workflow forces an update on all the RITMs so that the dependent workflows can make again the evaluation of the waiting for condition where the variable equals the X value set by the master workflow.

Thanks,

Berny

Do you have an example workflow for this that you could share?
