How can I control the sequence in which the conditions on Explicit OR Splits are evaluated?
In the Workflow system there can be several arcs coming out of a transition in an Explicit OR Split, and the choice of which arc is used as the path down which the token will progess is governed by the pre-conditions or guards. Each pre-condition will be examined in sequence, and the first one which evaluates to TRUE will be chosen. If none evaluates to TRUE then the default path will be taken. But what is this sequence, and what identifies the default path? Each outward arc goes from a transition to a place, and the sequence in which these arcs will be evaluated is governed by the place name. These are purely descriptive and have no meaning to the workflow engine, so can contain any value of your choosing. It would therefore be a good idea to prefix each place name with an explicit sequence identifier such as number or a letter, as in ‘1-‘ or ‘A-‘. In this way the sequence would be entirely under your control and not randomly picked at runtime. The default path is the one which does n
