Create a New Workflow

Use the Form View form to create a new workflow.

The originator of a workflow displays in the Created by field. An originator is similar to the owner of a file and always has access to the workflow they create. When a workflow is created through the batch processor, the originator is set to the person who set up the batch processing.

In addition, workflow that is created using the Create Workflow action has the workflow steps automatically started. Any users with access to the Workflow Steps tab in Workflow Type Configuration can restart the workflow steps after editing it.

When you click Edit Workflow in Workflow Type Configuration, the workflow steps for all workflow of the selected workflow type can be either canceled or restarted.

To prevent someone from creating a workflow, use the primary role to specify that the New option is disabled for the specified workflow category.
