Submitting a Workflow Request

Workflow Manager 2019

To enable consumers to quickly and easily submit a workflow request, a Submit Request button is available on their home page. As well, workflow consumers and administrators can both submit a workflow from by selecting Submit Workflow Requests on the Workflows menu of the navigation bar.

To submit a workflow request:

1. Click Submit Workflow Requests on the Workflows menu of the navigation bar. The Submit Workflow Request page opens.

2. Enter a descriptive name for your request in the Workflow request name field.
3. Select the name of the project your workflow request will be associated with from the Project field.
4. If you know your workflow request belongs to a specific family of requests, select the appropriate option from the Workflow Family field, or click Create New to create a new workflow family. Refer to Managing Workflow Families for further information about creating new families.

Note • If you are a workflow consumer and the company associated with this project was created with the Is a Workflow Family Owner? option selected, the Create New button will not appear. It will be available only when a workflow administrator is submitting a workflow request against the project. See Creating a New Company for more information about this option.

5. Click Add. The Workflow Request page opens and you are prompted to specify some information.

Note • The first workflow step of all workflow requests always prompts the requester to provide some information. The information requested upon submission of a workflow request is defined during creation of the workflow template, and can include as many or as few questions as the workflow administrator desires.

6. Enter the requested information and click Submit.

Tip • Questions with a red asterisk are mandatory, meaning you will be unable to proceed until you answer them. Questions without a red asterisk are optional.

7. Continue with the steps in Monitoring the Progress of a Workflow Request.
