Question
How to create a sub-workflow in SDL WorldServer?
Answer
In SDL WorldServer, you can reuse existing workflows by embedding one workflow into another. For example, if you can conduct the translation and review processes in a standard workflow and/oryou can embed this workflow into multiple other workflows. In your Workflow Editor, click on the Insert Sub-Workflow Step symbol to add a subworkflow to your Workflow:

Then select which Workflow should be added as a Subworkflow and configure the transitions to the other steops in your workflow Editor. Here is an example of a Workflow containing a subworkflow:

Sub-workflow steps have a result of Success or Failure, which you can use to control the workflow after executing the sub-workflow. When you create a sub-workflow, end it with automatic actions that set the return values. For example, if the last step in a sub-workflow is Review, create two branches, each of them going to an automatic step: one should set the return value to 1 (for success) and the other should set the return value to 0 (for failure). When the sub-workflow is completed, it could send one of these values to the parent workflow, which then needs to branch accordingly.
