About Configuring a Workflow

A workflow involves a series of tasks that are set up to acquire approvals from responsible groups.

Workflows can be configured to be simple with only one level of approvals, or they can be complex with multi-level approval processes. Separate groups to handle rejections and escalations, and monitor overall process can be included in a workflow.

As an administrative user in Plant Applications, you can create and set up a workflow in the Approval Cockpit application with the following tasks:

• Create and save a basic workflow.
• Add workflow levels.
• Add a monitoring group to the workflow.
• Add a rejection responding group to the workflow.
• Add an escalation responding group to the workflow.
