Supported Purposes for MDF Rule Scenarios

Regarding approver approves MDF workflow what kind of business rule will execute, it is based on:

1. approver type
2. whether approver will do inflight changes when approving this workflow (update workflow content)

If approver is middle step approver:

• middle step approver does not do inflight changes, only simple click "approve" button to approve the workflow - None Rule will be executed.
• middle step approver did inflight changes on the workflow - Validate Rule (INFO, Warning & Error), Save Rule, and Workflow Rule (if the workflow is configured as ‘edit with route change’)will be executed.

If approver is final step approver:

• final step approver only simple click "approve" button or did inflight changes on the workflow - Validate Rule, Save Rule,  Workflow Rule (if the workflow is configured as ‘edit with route change’ ) will be executed, Warning Validation Rule wont be triggered, this is by design.
