Exception

The form is redirected to the Exception node if an exception occurs during the workflow process. The Employee or Role who is responsible for addressing the exception processes the exception, then redirects the Form to the appropriate node in the workflow to resume the process.

Other Exception node practices:

• There must always be one, and only one, Exception defined per workflow.
• The Exception node is not connected to any incoming or outgoing Branches.
• The Exception node is always represented with either an Employee or a Role.
