Create Workflow Configuration Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to automatically create new workflows of a certain type.

A workflow is started automatically when you select the Create Workflow step action and complete the settings in this dialog box. The system automatically generates a new workflow in the system. This new workflow can be of any workflow type. It can be created as a child of the current workflow. It can be conditionally created based on whether any workflows of the selected workflow type already exist for the control account.

The final step action in the workflow is to create a Work Authorization Document (WAD).

When workflow is complete, a WAD will automatically be created (and the workflow started) using the Create Workflow step action on the Workflow Steps tab of Workflow Type Configuration for each control account. This action always occurs at step end.

Click the related workflow link on the Initial Work Authorization Links tab to see information on why the WAD was generated. You can view a related workflow link for each Work Authorization Document on the parent Related Workflows tab.
