externalTransition
Forms: External Transition
When triggered an External Transition places a task on a Process Queue for external processing. CenterView monitors the queue for task completion, triggering the Transition if applicable. Just as for userTransition the user is able to specify both task description and data expressions. These can be as complex as needed e.g. allowing the user to dynamically generate alarm context specific XML to be passed to the external process.
The following details are configured for each saved External Transition:
