Overview

Workflows are a series of activities that are necessary to complete a task.  Each step in a workflow has a specific step before it and a specific step after it.  When enabled Workflows replace Activities in the Left Navigation Pane.  The user has the ability to toggle between Activities and Workflows.

Benefits

Filters Activity data and delivers relevant information to the user.

Prerequisite

• Workflows need to be enabled via the Preferences tab under Administration.

Workflow Items:

• Name - Title that will appear when the workflow is enabled in the navigation pane.
• Description - Steps to be taken for this workflow item.
  • Workflows use the text formatting engine Markdown.  Click this link for a guide in using Markdown.

• Level
  • Soft - copies data into selected location with the ability to select what will be copied.
