An administrator can reroute the workflow when a script error occurs by creating an
error condition exit for specific activities within the workflow. This allows the workflow
to process script errors in a predictable way and not create undesirable
results.

## Before you begin

Role required: snc_required_script_writer_permission and workflow_admin, workflow_creator, or admin

## Procedure

1. Open and check out a workflow.
2. Right-click in the top portion of the activity for which you want to create an error exit.
3. Select Add condition from the context menu.
4. Add a condition exit with the following values:  
   * Name: <kbd class="ph userinput">Error</kbd>
   * Condition: <kbd class="ph userinput">activity.state=='faulted'</kbd>
   {#t_CreateAnErrorConditionExit__ul_djs_h4z_qq}
5. Click Submit.  
   The Error exit appears on the activity.
6. Connect the Error exit to another activity for handling the error state, such as Notification or Log Message.
