What are Workflows ?

Workflow Rules govern the behavior of specific entities in the system and the way specific actions may be applied on these entities. The actions are triggered from specific events if certain conditions are fulfilled. Each Workflow Rule refers to a specific Entity.

The following entities may be added in workflow rules:

  • Activities
  • Service Requests
  • Jobs
  • Subscriptions
