Create Additional Response Options

The possible outcomes of a Decision object are represented by the Response property of the lines used to connect the Decision object to other objects. By default, the available options are:

  • Accept
  • Accept With Warnings
  • Cancelled
  • False
  • Reject
  • Resubmit
  • Timeout
  • True
  • Withdraw

You can add other response options as well.

For each response option used in the workflow, a corresponding button is shown at the bottom of the form. Clicking the button will trigger the path within the workflow identified by the response option. For example, if you use a Cancel response, clicking the Cancel button in the form will pass control to the object joined using the connector labeled Cancel.

To add another response option:

  1. Go to Workflow Administration > Message Response.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Enter a name and, optionally, a description for the response option.
  4. Enter a unique reference code in the Reference Code field to identify the response option. Reference codes are used to integrate Dayforce data with other applications.See Cross Reference Codes in the Dayforce Implementation Guide.
  5. Click Save.

Edit and Delete Response Options

To modify a response option, select it in the response list then change its properties and click Save.

To delete a response option, select it in the response list and then click Delete. You will be asked to confirm your request. Click Save to apply the change.

Note: You can’t modify or delete any of the default response options. Also, you can’t delete a response option if it’s currently being used in a workflow diagram.
