Managing Workflow Status Values
Workflow Manager
By default, workflows can be assigned one of two workflow status values: Active or Inactive. Any workflow request with a status of Inactive will not be included in reports or searches. Workflow administrators can change the status of a workflow request by using the Properties tab of the Workflow Request page. Every time a workflow status is changed, email notifications are sent out to the people specified on the Notification tab of the Workflow Details page for that workflow request’s associated workflow template (see Assigning Permissions and Notification Settings on a Workflow Template for details).
You may create additional workflow status values to assign to your workflows, if the default pair is insufficient, and can specify whether each one is equivalent to the Active or Inactive status (to determine the behavior of workflow requests with that status). You can also rename the default pair of status values, but cannot remove them.
This section includes the following administrative tasks regarding managing workflow status values:
| • | Creating a New Workflow Status |
| • | Viewing or Changing an Existing Workflow Status |
| • | Deleting a Workflow Status |
