A decision represents a point at which a workflow divides into two branches. To make a decision, you must select one of two choices. The choices are typically Yes and No, or True and False. The choice that you make determines the workflow branch that is used to process the submitted document.

Follow these steps to make a decision.

1. Open the document that the decision is associated with.

2. Review the message bar for information about the workflow process. To view detailed instructions, click the icon in the message bar. The following figure shows the location of the message bar and the icon that you can click to view instructions.
