Activating workflow processes

You activate workflow records before they can be routed into a workflow process.

About this task

When you activate a workflow process record, the following actions occur:
  • The Workflow actions and buttons are added to the applications associated with the object if those applications do not support workflow yet.
  • The Active check box is selected to indicate that the record is currently being used to manage records.
  • When you activate a process revision, the previously active revision is deactivated. The product does not disable the revision because active instances of the process might exist.

Procedure

  1. From the List tab of the Workflow Designer application, select the process record that you want to activate.
  2. Select the Activate Process action. If the applications associated with the object already support workflow, a message displays in the navigation bar stating that the process has been activated.
  3. Click OK.
