Columns
Column | Description |

Actions
The buttons and icons on the Workflows screen perform the following functions.
Icon | Action | Description |
---|---|---|
Create New Workflow | Create a new workflow. | |
View | View the workflow description. | |
Edit | Edit the workflow record. Editing done to the templates will only affect future appraisals that are cloned or created from the edited workflow. | |
Copy | Copy a workflow to quickly create a new one. The screen displays the first step of the copied workflow with none of the previously selected associations chosen.
As you proceed through the wizard, any options chosen on the original workflow are preselected in the copied workflow. However, no step in the wizard is linked until you have passed that step. Associations are not selected on a duplicate workflow because no two performance workflows can have the exact same associations |
|
Default Workflow | Select a default workflow to use if the chosen associations in the first step (Identification) do not match associations with any performance workflows. A warning will display on the screen until a default workflow is selected. Employees not defined by associations from the listed workflows are assigned the default workflow. | |
Deactivated/Activated | Set the activation status of the workflow. Deactivating a workflow ensures that it is no longer available for selection when creating appraisals. This action will affect any historical data associated with appraisals that were previously created with the workflow. Historical data will remain intact.
Deactivated workflows are not shown by default on the Workflows page, but can still be accessed by using the option in the filter section. |
|
Delete | Delete the workflow. |
