Workflow Configuration Example¶
The workflow configuration that we are going to illustrate has two entities:
Phone Call
Phone Conversation
When Workflow Item is created, it is connected to the Phone Call. On the first “Start Call” step , a user can proceed to the “Call Phone Conversation Step” if the recipient answered, or to the “End Phone Call” step if the recipient did not.
On step “Call Phone Conversation”, the user enters Workflow Data and navigates to the “End Phone Call” step via the “End conversation” transition. On this transition, a new Entity of Phone Conversation is created and assigned to the Phone Call entity.

Translation File Configuration¶
To define translatable textual representation of the configuration fields, create translation file DemoWorkflowBundle\Resources\translations\workflows.en.yml with the following content.
oro:
workflow:
phone_call:
label: 'Demo Call Workflow'
step:
start_call:
label: 'Start Phone Call'
start_conversation:
label: 'Call Phone Conversation'
end_call:
label: 'End Phone Call'
attribute:
phone_call:
label: 'Phone Call'
call_timeout:
label: 'Call Timeout'
call_successfull:
label: 'Call Successful'
conversation_successful:
label: 'Conversation Successful'
conversation_comment:
label: 'Conversation Comment'
conversation_result:
label: 'Conversation Result'
conversation:
label: Conversation
transition:
connected:
label: Connected
warning_message: 'Going to connect...'
not_answered:
label: 'Not answered'
end_conversation:
label: 'End conversation'
attribute:
conversation_comment:
label: 'Comment for the call result'
As usual, for Symfony translations (messages) files, the structure of nodes can be grouped by key dots. This code above provides the full tree just as an example. See more about translations in the Translations Wizard topic.
