Building rules in Workflow
A workflow is defined in a step-by-step process:
  1. Add a workflow as a container that will hold a set of related rules.
  2. Start to build your rule - add a rule description to your workflow.
  3. Add triggers with conditions to the rule, based on:
    • iSheet records
    • Files
    • Tasks
    • Dates
    • Schedule
  5. Activate both the workflow and your rules:
    • Open the
      Rule builder
       screen and select
      More actions
       for your workflow description, select
      Activate
       to change the status of a
      Draft
       workflow to
      Active
      ..
    • Each rule must also be activated - open the rule then select
      More actions
       for each rule that is needed and select
      Activate
      .
