This form is used to maintain Workflow Steps.

SubSystem

General

This form enables you to create and maintain the Workflow Steps that make up a Workflow. For each Workflow Step a BAP is related - this defines who will perform the workflow step.

The Review Date Alias or the Review Days value can be used to define when the Workflow Step should be completed. If the Review Date Alias is recorded, the system looks for the next instance of the date alias after the workflow step is initiated and if the Review Days is recorded it counts that number of days after the workflow step is initiated.

When the workflow step is initiated, the members of the BAP may be notified. The entry for the Notification Email Type determines the email type that is sent and/or the Notification Notice Code recorded here determines the Notice that is displayed to the BAP members.

The messages to appear on the My CAPS screen for members of the BAP can also be defined here. The colour and appearance of the text is determined by the Style Class selected (These style classes are defined in GENF0040), the timing of the display is determined by the Days and Timing values recorded . e.g 2 [Days] Before Due Date and the Text to be displayed is determined by the entry in the Display Text field.

This form is accessed from the main menu or in context via navigation button from GENF4830.
