To add script that executes when a record moves into a state

• Double-click the OnEnter icon on that state in the workflow process diagram. The Code Editor opens with OnEnter event procedure tags added.

To add script that executes when a record leaves a state

• Double-click the OnExit icon on that state in the workflow process diagram. The Code Editor opens with OnExit event procedure tags added.
