Overview
Momentum is Acorn's workflow engine. Workflows consist of nodes (stages) connected by transitions (rules that move an application from one node to the next). Constants are reusable values referenced across the workflow.
Constants
- Go to Admin > Momentum > View Workflow > Builder > Go To Constants.
- Click Add New Constant and give it a name and type. Click Create Constant.
- Reference constants in node conditions using syntax.
- Constants are workflow-scoped — they apply only to the workflow they are created in.
Node types
A comprehensive list of Momentum Nodes can be found in this article.Configuring transitions
- Select a node in the workflow builder.
- Drag and drop a line to the next node.
- Set the Transition Type if it is more complex than a Base.
- Add Target using form field values, constants, or user attributes.
- Save.
Testing a workflow
Use the View as learner mode to simulate the workflow without creating real applications. After testing, publish with Visibility and Access settings.
Visibility
- Published - Visible to users per its access state
- Unpublished - Hidden from end-users. You can still test as an admin.
Access
- Open - Users can start and submit new applications.
- Closed - New applications are unavailable. Existing applications can still be completed.
- Locked - Applications can be viewed but cannot be updated or progressed.
