Testing Your Workflow

Note: You may have to refresh your database to view the new objects added by the Workflow Process wizard.

Identifying Main User Tables

Detail and lookup tables associated with the main table are automatically added to the hierarchy. The Main Table Selection wizard deduced these from defined foreign key relationships in the database. If they are not displayed in the Object List, you can expand the view under the Tables node or refresh the Tables pane.
