About this task
Procedure
- Click Comply > Tools and Views > Workflow Builder.

Event Type
window, click Event Status. - Click Add Event Status to define a new Event Status. A list of event statuses are displayed.
- Enter a description for the status and select the Is Final
checkbox if the task is a final task in the workflow. Then, go to the next step.
An example of a simple three-step workflow is: Open to Review state to Approve or Not Approved. Each step of the workflow is a separate Defined Task Event Status.
- Click Event Type and then click Add Event Type Definition to define a new Event Type.
- Enter the description and designate the first task in the workflow.
- From the Available Status list, select all the status for the workflow and then select the arrow to move to the Allowed Status list. Click Save.
- In the Defined Event Actions section, click
New.
From the simple three-step workflow example, an Event Action of Under Review has a prior status of Open and a next Status of Review State. The Event Action of Approved follows Under Review with a prior status of Review State and next status of Approve after review. Or the Event Action of Not approved has a prior status of Review State and a next status of Not Approved. A signoff capability for designated reviewers per Event Action, continuous or sequential, is available.
- Enter a description for the event action and designate prior status, next status, and sign-off for this event action. Click Apply.
- Repeat Steps 9 and 10 until all event actions are described and designated.
- Under Roles, select an event type status and click
Roles to define who can see the event when it is in a particular Event
Action. For example, assign roles to define who can see events that are "Under Review" and who can see events that are "Approved".
- Under Assign Security Roles, mark all roles that you want to
assign, click Apply to save security role choices, and then click
Back. Remember: You see only the roles that are assigned to your account.
- Repeat steps 13 through 14 until all roles for the event type status are defined.
- Click Comply > Tools and Views > Audit Process Builder to schedule the workflow and build and show workflow reports. See the Audit Process Builder steps under Define a Report Task.
