Advanced Workflow Rules settings

When selecting an Integration Path under Connectivity Settings, a default rule is automatically created to determine behavior depending on the selected path.

By selecting Show advanced workflow rules setting option in the Workflow Rules section, you can display the hidden default rule and modify it. Modifying a rule specific to an integration path (e.g. SDK), will automatically change the selected integration path to Custom.
If you select Custom Integration Path, no rule is created and you need to create one to determine device behavior.

Example

  1. Under Connectivity Settings, select the Software Keyboard integration.
  2. Under Workflow Rules, select the Show advanced workflow rules setting option.
    The Integration Path:Keyboard workflow rule displays
    KeyboardAdvancedRule
  3. Click the Integration Path:Keyboard workflow rule.
    The Workflow Rule Details section displays the Trigger and the Action automatically set when selecting the keyboard integration.
