Configure workflow settings

Workflow provides a standard process for collecting and vetting project ideas, turning the ideas into projects, and advancing projects through phase reviews and approvals.

Only data architects can configure workflow in the web app. As a data architect, you must create a sandbox to configure any of the following aspects of workflow.

  1. Edit methodologies and phases
  2. Create and select the idea form
  3. Edit the hopper chart
  4. Set required fields
  5. Create steering committees
  6. Set preferences for starting a workflow project
  7. Link workflow data
  8. Customize the Workflow page

Workflow is a standard feature, which is on by default. However, you can turn it off in the sandbox. Also, you can set up email notifications to alert users of events related to tasks and workflow. For more information, go to Edit notifications.

Tip

To efficiently test new workflow configuration settings, create a new methodology that has only one phase and one review board member. Then, you can assign yourself as the reviewer and advance projects through a single project phase to see how your changes affect the subscription.
