Some businesses do not require a formal review process, but do require builds of outputs. In this case the business wishes to have all product drawings and renderings to be compiled into a single PDF file which will be attached to the quote. There is a single build type, "renderings" which represent rendered images of each product, and then a PDF quote output which bundles these renderings. In order to build the PDF, it must first make sure these rendered files are generated. That's where the "build state" comes in.
Step 1: Make sure people can see the built file
The PDF bundle has a tag assigned to it: viewable. Let's make sure the workflow allows people to see this output within the quote.
Step 2: Add a build state which will build all the renderings
Each configurator in this example company has an output belonging to the "Rendering" build type. These outputs build image files displaying the rendered product. The following build state will create the renderings.
Step 3: Add a general state which will build the PDF output
The "On build(s) complete" connector in the prior step has a Go to state "Complete" block attached. This state will be shown below. This state will perform the PDF rendering build which was set up to compile the renderings into one PDF file.
