Assigning multiple workflows for a workitem in RTC
Hi,
Currently I am customizing workitem template in RTC for my requirement . I am migrating from CQ to RTC.
In CQ mutiple workflows for a record type is possible .
in RTC, Can I create multiple workflows for a work item .
If so what will be the pros and cons of doing so .
Thank you in advance !!

May 10 '17, 1:18 a.m.In CQ :
Job (record Type)
Problem Job [different workflow]
Standard Job [different workflow]
Review Job [different workflow]
In RTC
Job [Workitem type] .
In this there should be an attribute with drop down of "Problem", "Standard" and "Review". Based on this selection appropriate workflow to be selected on click of Save . This is an one time activity while creating the workitem.
I came to know, workflows are assigned to the WI only on click of the first save . In this case, i foresee this is possible .
Note : I understand, another workflow can not be assigned to an already created WI

May 10 '17, 2:05 a.m.I don't really recall multiple workflows can be used for one record type in ClearQuest - the state transition matrix (similar to the workflow in RTC) is definitely static and there is only one for each record type. I believe it is the concept of "dynamic workflow" where some actions can be carried out automatically (behind the scenes) by hooks, and end users it differently in effect. There are no "hooks" in RTC, so you will not be able to achieve the same.
