Workflow and matrix versions

When an approval chain is started to evaluate a matrix, the same matrix version is used until the approval process triggered by this chain ends. See "Order 111" and the corresponding continuous arrows in the diagram.

Each time the workflow is triggered by a new document, an evaluation of the latest active version of a matrix is started. See "Order 112" and the corresponding dashed arrows in the diagram.

This diagram shows how matrix versions are used in an approval chain:

When a decision matrix is used in a workflow, the latest active Matrix version is used each time the workflow decision table step is executed.

If an active workflow is using a matrix that is deleted, the workflow instance fails. If the generation of alerts for business process errors is enabled in the ION Desk > Configuration > Error Reporting, an error alert is generated.
