PRINT WORKFLOW DEFINITION REPORT

Use this report to print workflow definitions. It includes the basic workflow data and a list of activities and options defined for each workflow. For each role used in each workflow's activity and message routing, the report can list the users associated with the role. For each of the filtered roles, the report can list the users related to the filter values.

You can print this report for a selection of workflows and subsystems. You can print active workflows, inactive workflows, or both. You can print all activities, only the required activities, or only the optional activities. You can sort the report by workflow or subsystem.

Enter information into the following screens before printing this report: Define Case Labels, Define Role Filtering, Define Roles, and Define Workflow Models. These functions are located in the Design menu.

Hint: You can save your sort options and selection criteria for this report with or without printing. After making your selections, select the Save button on the toolbar or use Save in the File menu. Enter an alphanumeric identifying code and a short description to help you recognize the report parameters and select OK. Later, you can choose Find or Query from this screen to access the print parameters you created and run the same report without having to enter all the selection screen information again. Stored report parameters are especially useful if you run the reports through the Process Server.
