The Automatic Workflow Branching project demonstrates automatic workflow branching based on a property of the controlled item.
A method is attached to an automatic activity as an OnActivate server event. When the workflow
is started, the automatic activity is activated and the method finds the controlled item. It
then reads the Plant property, finds the corresponding path and sets that path to be the default.
The activity then closes and the default path is followed.
