How to restart a workflow at a given step.

[roberth55706517]

I have a workflow that contains several steps. One of the last steps is an approval step where someone can reject the work performed prior to their assignment. I need to know how to restart the workflow and one of the intermediate steps.

You can write a simple script and use Goto Step to mention where it has to start with

Hi roberth55706517

As mentioned by Bsloki, You may use Goto Step. 

• Goto Step – Lets you go back to a particular step in the workflow. At the time of writing this blog, there was a UI bug where if you had the goto step inside a split, the drop down wont show the steps outside the branch of the split. The workaround for this is to manually update the property in CRXDE for the goto step process.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks and Regards

That did work for what I need with that step.

Now how about a link that fully explains the OR join/split step? I've searched but only find mentions of it.
