The Binder Entry Points window is launched from the Task Editor>Entry Points tab by selecting an existing entry in the Entry Point List and pressing the Edit button or double-mouse-clicking the selected list entry as well as by clicking the New button to create a new Entry Point.
You may enter a name for the Entry Point and a Description on its General Tab.
The Binder Tab allows you to select which document(s) within the associated Binder definition are involved and under what trigger-conditions they will be introduced into workflow as a work item launching a new parent Process instance, as shown below.

Allow Re-entrance |
This checkbox option allows the Entry Point definition to permit an existing binder object to be re-admitted to workflow via this Start Task>Entry Point. |

Apply button |
Applies unsaved configuration changes, remains at this screen to continue configuration. |
Note: The DocuPhase Application Administration page can be used to Enable and Disable Progression Events triggered by process Start-Task Entry-Point conditions for a specific DocuPhase Application.
For example, consider a Start Task Entry Point for a work item with two documents: an Invoice and a Check where this work item can enter workflow whenever either the Invoice or the Check document becomes available with a matching condition.
With this new feature using the DocuPhase Application Administration page, the Invoice entry-point condition can be disabled at the Application Admin page for the application so that workflow can only be entered by a work item when the Check becomes available in DocuPhase with a matching condition.
This situation will remain in effect until the Invoice Application is re-enabled.
