I have invoked workflows using retrieve field values; is there any advantage to either passing credentials or retrieving field values? Does Laserfiche have a best practice or is this just user preference?

When you say pass credentials, do you mean pass the values you read in Workflow A when invoking Workflow B as input parameters?

It could go either way.

If the values are not likely to change between the time you read them and the time the other workflow tries to use them, then I'd pass them in as parameters. It saves a call back to the Laserfiche Server for data that you already have, so it's more efficient.

If the values will change and you want the updated values, then reading them in the invoked workflow is better.
