Setting up work process flows

Work process flows use relationships between work orders and tasks to automate the flow of status changes. You set relationships between work orders and tasks so that when a task is completed, the next task in the flow can be initiated.

Before you begin

To set the process flow for individual tasks, you must select Under Flow Control at the header level for the work order.
