Copy Workflow Request Page

Workflow Manager 2020

If you want to create a new workflow request which is very similar to an existing workflow request, you can copy the existing one, rather than re-entering all of the requested data. The amount of data that is copied to the new workflow request depends upon whether you are a consumer or an administrator:

For consumers, only data submitted in the initial data step are copied to the new workflow. Any data submitted in later steps will need to be re-entered.
For administrators, you can choose to just copy the data entered in the initial date entry step, or the current workflow state (all the data items and the state of each workflow step). You can also link the copy to the original workflow request.

To copy an existing workflow request, select Copy an Existing Workflow Request in the Workflows menu of the navigation bar. The initial view of the Copy Workflow Request page opens, listing all workflow requests.
