Configuring the Emergency Mode Activity
As an Administrator, you can set the account to be in emergency mode. Existing workflows can check this setting and then take a different route when emergency mode is set.
Note: The Emergency Mode activity allows the Administrator to set the status of a system to normal or emergency. For example, this mode can be used when there is an outage, or during limited service.
To add an Emergency Mode activity to the workflow:
- Click the
icon on the workflow at the position where you want to add the Emergency Mode activity. - From the activity wheel, select the
icon and then click the 
icon. The Emergency mode window opens.
- From the Operation (String) drop-down list, select either Set or Check as the operation for emergency mode. Set is used to set or clear emergency mode, and Check is used to check the current emergency mode setting for the account.
- From the Status(String) drop-down list, select Enabled to activate the emergency mode. Selecting Disabled de-activates the emergency mode. If you are checking the emergency mode, selecting Enabled will follow the Success branch if emergency mode is activated, and selecting Disabled will follow the Success branch if emergency mode is not activated.
- Click Ok. The Emergency Mode activity will be added to the workflow with two branches.
- SUCCESS – Indicates emergency mode was set correctly, or the current mode matches the checked mode.
- FAILURE – Indicates emergency mode failed to be set, or the current mode does not match the checked mode.
- Click Save.
