Workflow tool palette buttons

Workflow tool palette buttons provide visual indications of workflow application support and workflow process control. You use these icons to route workflow assignments and to complete workflow assignments.

When you add workflow support to an application, a Route button is added to the application toolbar. Two icons exist for the Route toolbar button, to indicate whether a record is being used in a workflow process. You can customize the Route buttons. If multiple processes exist for an application, you can create different buttons for each process.
