Workflows

Use the Workflows page to access workflows that are mobile-enabled.

Download Workflows for Offline Use

The e-Builder mobile application allows you to download workflows while you are online so that you can use them later to initiate new workflow instances while in offline mode.

The e-Builder Offline Mobile Enabled check box must be enabled for the process by an Administrator on the Properties Tab of the process for it to be mobile-enabled and available for offline use. For more details on how to enable offline use, see Manage Processes.

Instance

Start a Workflow Instance

Workflows can be initiated from the Add workflow instances icon icon next to any workflow title. You can fill out basic fields, controlling list fields, dynamic grids, perform file uploads, and then save the workflow form.

If you have a previously downloaded workflow, tap the Add workflow instances icon icon to start a new workflow instance while in offline mode. While you are offline, the Workflows home page will display a list of draft or offline workflows with a status of “Waiting to Sync”. These workflows will be automatically synced once you are back online.

Take Action on a Workflow Instance

The Take Action feature allows you to download action meta-data, add comments, add actors, and give review and comment access on a mobile process.

If action is needed on a workflow, the Take Action drop-down will be presented when the instance is opened. You will also be presented with page(s) for any action options enabled by the workflow configuration.

Once finished, you will be presented with a message that the workflow instance has been saved and queued for synchronization when you are back online.

Some actions are not available from the mobile application. If the action is not supported, you will be prompted to complete the action from the web application.

Add Comments on a Workflow Instance

While in a workflow instance, you can add comments through the comments tab at the top of the screen.

The most recent comment will be displayed at the bottom similar to other common chat programs.
