In our sample HR workflow, you'll remember that the initial entry form asked if the position was full-time or part-time. Depending on the person's selection, they were taken to a new entry form based on their input. This is a feature called entry form chaining. When the command on the first form is executed, the workflow is activated and processed. If any action in the workflow assigns a new entry form action for the current person, its form will be shown. This is a very powerful feature because it allows you to build complex interactions with the person.

Let's look at how the sample position request form was configured for chaining.

Instead of using action filters, we could have launched separate activities to get the details for each position type, one for full-time and one for part-time. In this case though, the action filters seemed a better option.
