Workflow Validations

Dayforce performs the following validations related to the workflow diagram when you save a workflow:

  • Workflows must have exactly one Start node.
  • Workflows must have at least one End node. Having more than one End node is allowed but not a best practice.
  • At least one “Send to” property must be configured for Routing and Notification nodes.
  • At least one outbound link must be connected to Start, Process, Decision, Routing and Notification nodes. See Maximum Outbound Links.
  • At least one inbound link must be connected to End, Process, Decision, Routing, and Notification nodes.
  • A single Routing node must precede the Decision node.
  • A single Decision node must follow the Routing node.
  • A response is required for links coming from the Decision and Condition nodes.
  • A Decision node can’t have outbound links with duplicate responses. For example, it can’t have two outbound links with the same Accept response.
