2. Click the States tab to display the current workflow.
3. Click the Edit button to modify the workflow.
4. Double-click the transition that you want to configure. The transition’s Properties page appears.
5. Click the Property Assignments tab. The current property assignments for the transition appear.
6. Use the Add, Remove, and Remove All buttons to configure the options described in the following table.
7. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
8. Click the OK button on the States tab to save your changes.
