Working with allocations

Submit allocations or allocation maps to a workflow

You can send an allocation or an allocation map through a workflow. If you release an allocation map, you cannot modify existing allocations, nor add or remove any allocations from the allocation map. Releasing an allocation map does not add all allocations to the workflow process as targets unless the process templates are set up to do this. Once the allocation map is released, the status flag only appears for the allocation map and not for the individual allocations. Releasing an allocation does not prevent the allocation map from being modified; you can add new allocations or remove existing allocations from the allocation map. You cannot, however, modify or delete the released allocation.
