Conditional Branching in Governance Workflows
Govern with precision, automate with flexibility! You can now dynamically route requests within your governance workflows based on metadata changes or entity destinations—enabling organizations to mirror their internal processes with tailored logic and conditional approvals.
🎉 What’s New
Conditional Branching is now live — enabling dynamic routing in governance workflows based on conditions. It’s available in:
- Change Management Template: Trigger branches based on what metadata is modified.
- New Entity Creation Template: Route requests for terms, categories, or data products based on creation context.
✨ Let’s Dig Deeper
Conditional Branching adds powerful logic to governance workflows. Here’s how each template works:
Change Management Template
- Create branches based on modified attributes (e.g., Name, Owners, Tags, Custom Metadata).
- Each branch supports:
- Multiple OR-based conditions
- Independent approvers and approval strategies
- A fallback path ensures unmatched changes are still handled (and allows for non-governed change exclusions).
New Entity Creation Template
- Branch logic depends on where the entity is being created — glossary, category, or domain.
- Each path can:
- Use its own request form
- Collect contextual inputs
- Define separate approvers
- Includes a fallback for unmatched requests.
🌱 What’s Coming Next
Planned enhancements will bring even greater control with:
- Attribute Value-Based Logic
Route based on what a value is changing to (e.g., Certification set to “Verified”). - User/Group-Based Logic
Customize branches based on who is initiating the change. - Custom Field-Based Logic
Use form values (e.g., criticality, request purpose) to influence workflow routing.
