Creating custom workflows
Workflow builder
is used to edit and customize any of the
installed workflows (and save as a new custom workflow).
Edited workflows are saved as copies of the source
installed workflow as a custom workflow. The
installed workflows themselves are not changed and remain available to add as the space workflow.
Custom workflows saved in the space will
be available in the workflow picker to add as a space workflow.
To add a saved custom workflow as a space workflow choose
Manage Workflows in the space settings Document Management dashboard.
Scroll down in the Add workflow picker to choose
are displayed in the Add workflow picker by default
any saved custom workflows
are also
listed in the picker
A bundled workflow
cannot be overwritten - any bundled workflow that is edited is saved as a copy. It is then displayed in the picker with its original name with (Copy) appended.
This occurs when
you choose to edit a bundled
workflow and the workflow
is not given a new name before saving the
changes. For example, editing the requirement for e-signature in one of the approvals in the
bundled Quality Management System workflow will require you to rename the workflow before exiting workflow builder.
