How to create workflow and workflow steps
Workflows are a crucial aspect of this application, offering several key functions:
- They allow users to complete form fields.
- They facilitate the approval of records for review or further editing by the next assigned users.
- They provide control over user permissions, limiting their ability to edit or view specific fields.
To enable a workflow for any table or form, follow these steps:
- Click "Edit View" in the menu.
- Select "Workflow" from the options.
- In the workflow window, locate and click the plus button to add a new workflow step.
- Hover over the step to reveal two plus buttons, one at the bottom and one on the right side.
- If you click the plus button at the bottom, you will create a serial step. This means that when someone approves the first step, it will be assigned to the users in the second step.
- If you click the plus button on the right, it will create a parallel step. This allows the process to be assigned to the users of parallel steps when the previous step is approved.
