Create New Flow

This chapter describes the process after clicking the Create New Flow in the Designer tab. This manual helps you to create a new flow between existing workflow statuses.

The window with the field for the selection of parent and existing statuses of flow will appear – you can select from all existing workflow statuses of a given item type. The <initial> option means the initial item status in which the item will automatically be after its creation.

Select initial item status in the Parent Status field and select desired final item status in the Child Status field in this workflow.

In a next step a table for the definition of the child flow status will appear. Every row responds to one language version – en is the English, cs is the Czech, de is the German, ru is the Russian and sk is for the Slovak (FileAs is a general name of the status). You have the possibility to edit status names in the appropriate languages. The table cells can be activated for writing by the mouse click.

Another step is intended for selecting the user groups that will have permissions to do the flow between the workflow statuses. A list of all groups is situated in eWay-CRM, marking the check box by the name will assign permission for the change of workflow status to the given group.

The empty row above the group list is intended for group filtering. When you enter text into this row, only the groups whose names begin with the given text will remain in the list. If you mark the check box in the filtering row, only the groups that have their name marked and are related to this user will remain in the list. Filtering conditions are displayed in the lower part of the group list. Clicking the Edit Filter button will bring up the Filter Editor window – for more information take a look at the chapter: Items Filtering.

Clicking the Check All button will mark all user groups in the list, clicking Uncheck All will cancel the selections of all groups in the list.
