State evaluation constraints

State evaluation constraints determine whether a record's current workflow state matches specified criteria. Use these constraints to control workflow behavior based on state conditions.

State-based constraints

Constraint	Is true when...	Required sub-elements
State Is	The current record's state matches the specified state.	State: The name of the workflow state to compare against the record's state.
State Is Not	The current record's state does not match the specified state.	State: The name of the workflow state to compare against the record's state.
State Is One Of	The current record's state matches a state in the list of specified states.	States: The list of states to compare against the record's state.
State Is Not One Of	The current record's state does not match a state in the list of specified states.	States: The list of states to compare against the record's state.

State Is / State Is Not

This constraint determines whether the specified state matches the specified value.

Required properties

• Type: Value must be State Is or State Is Not.
• State: The value to compare against the record's current state.

Optional properties

• Ignore Case: Yes or No. Ignore case-sensitivity during the comparison. No is the default behavior when you omit this property. Comparisons are case-sensitive by default.

Evaluation

• True: The record's current state equals the comparison value.
• False: The record's current state doesn't equal the comparison value.

Example

Verify whether the state of the Record field equals Draft.

{
  "Type": "State Is",
  "State": "Draft",
  "States": null,
  "Ignore Case": true
}

State Is One Of / State Is Not One Of

This constraint determines whether the specified state matches any of the specified values.

Required properties

• Type: Value must be State Is One Of or State Is Not One Of.
• States: The values to compare against the record's current state.

Optional properties

• Ignore Case: Yes or No. Ignore case-sensitivity during the comparison. No is the default behavior when you omit this property. Comparisons are case-sensitive by default.

Evaluation

• True: The record's current state equals one of the comparison values.
• False: The record's current state doesn't equal one of the comparison values.

Example

Verify whether the state of the Record field equals Draft or Rejected.

{
  "Type": "State Is One Of",
  "State": null,
  "States": ["Draft", "Rejected"],
  "Ignore Case": true
}
