Workflow route: How to assign default route?

[kregimbald]

Basically, there is a workflow where at one task (after completed) the user has to choose between 3 different routes in a list. What I would like to do is have one particular route as the default (radio button is always on this route unless user specifies otherwise). The other 2 routes are optional (used less frequently).

It looks like Windchill's default is to select the first radio button.

Is there a way, in the workflow, to set the default (radio button) to that one specific route?

Only way I know to get around this is to use a workflow variable instead, with no defaul value, then use a conditional to route based on the value.

So the solution is pretty simple:

1. As administrator, go to the Organization and then Utilities. Click on the Workflow Template Administration. Check out the workflow and Edit.

2. Click on the specific task so that the window appears with all the task tabs (general, activity, participants, etc.)

3. Click on the "routing" tab.

4. The column on the left displays all the different routes available once the task is completed.

5. Move the routes up and/or down so that the "default" route is the very first option listed.

6. Click OK and then check in the workflow template.

That's it...now when you complete the task the default route with be listed first.

Be sure to check the software compatibility matrix for WC WGM to make sure you are connecting supported versions of CAD apps to WGM

@ScottMorris, There was another post that was similar to your reply. How did it get linked to this old post? Strange.
