Activating workflow processes

Use the Workflow Designer or Workflow Designer (Advanced) application to activate workflow processes. A workflow process record must be active before it can be executed.

About this task

When you activate a workflow process record, the following actions occur:
  • The Workflow actions and buttons are added to the applications associated with the object if those applications do not support workflow yet.
  • The Active check box is selected to indicate that the record is currently being used to manage records.
  • When you activate a process revision, the previously active revision is deactivated. The product does not disable the revision because active instances of the process might exist.

Procedure

  1. Select the process record that you want to activate.
  2. Click the Activate Process action. If the applications associated with the object already support workflow, a message displays in the navigation bar stating that the process has been activated. Otherwise, the 'Add workflow support to Application' dialog displays.
  3. Click OK.
