Utility Tasks

The Utility Task group includes specialized tasks that extend the capabilities of your workflow. These tasks help streamline complex logic and improve overall workflow efficiency.
Currently, the Utility Task group includes:
Wait Task: Introduces a timed pause within the workflow, allowing for delays before proceeding to the next step. Useful for timing dependencies or creating pauses between actions.
Connected Workflow Task: Allows you to call and execute another pre-built workflow within your current workflow. This promotes reusability of common steps such as validations, queries, or data formatting—helping you keep workflows clean, consistent, and easier to manage.
📌 More utility tasks will be introduced in future updates to further expand the design possibilities.
The Wait Task is designed to introduce controlled pauses during workflow execution, particularly for scenarios that require temporary halts before continuing with the next action.
Navigate to the Utility Tasks dropdown.
Select Wait Task from the list.
Drag and drop the Wait Task onto the Designer Canvas to add it to your workflow.
1. Wait Type
Users can configure the type of wait depending on their workflow requirements. Three options are available:
Static:
Uses a fixed wait time specified in the Wait Time field.
Default value: 5 seconds.
Range: 0.0 to 60 seconds.
Cell Reference:
Uses a value from a specific cell in the sheet.
The value must be between 0.0 and 60 seconds.
Named Range Reference:
Uses a pre-defined Named Range as the wait duration.
The value in the Named Range must be between 0.0 and 60 seconds.
Notes: If the value entered exceeds 60 seconds, it will automatically be adjusted to the maximum limit of 60 seconds. For the Static option, users will receive an error message prompting them to revise the value if it exceeds this limit.
2. Loading Message
This field allows users to customize a message that displays during the wait period.
The loading message provides feedback to users, indicating that the task is executing.
With the Wait Task, users can now introduce necessary pauses in their workflows, allowing for more efficient and controlled task execution.
The Connected Workflow feature is designed to help Fusion App Designers simplify complex workflows by reusing common task sequences across multiple workflows. It promotes efficiency, consistency, and easier maintenance by modularizing frequently used steps.
To add a Connected Workflow to your process:
Go to the Utility Tasks dropdown in the Designer.
Select Connected Workflow.
Drag and drop it onto the Designer Canvas where you want it to run.
In the Workflow field, select the workflow you’ve already created that you want to call from this step.
Step Name: Defaults to Connected Workflow. You can rename it to reflect its purpose in the main workflow.
Workflow: Choose the existing workflow you want to call from this step.
Loop Threshold Value: Set to 10 by default. Defines the maximum number of iterations allowed during looping scenarios.
Resume when connected workflow fails/cancels: Enable this checkbox if you want the calling workflow to continue even if the connected workflow fails or is canceled.
Quote WF Connector contains common standard task like Quote Line of Quote, Price Book of Quote and Price Book Entry of Price Book.
Instead of rebuilding these steps in every workflow, you can call Quote WF Connector from workflows like Workflow : Opportunity LFS.
The result? Cleaner, more manageable workflows.
Connected Workflows are a great way to reduce duplication, keep workflows clean, and encourage reusability across your Fusion Apps. This feature ensures robust workflow control with fewer steps.
