Workflow Diagrams

A Pending Event Workflow can be represented by a visualisation to assist with verifying the configured approval flow.

A visualised workflow is both informative and interactive, as approval flows can be viewed at a glance and Stages can be updated directly via the diagram.

The visualisation for an existing Pending Event Workflow can be accessed in two ways:

1. Options Menu

  • Navigate to the Workflows screen.
  • Select the Options Menu icon against the required workflow and select the Diagram option.
