To create a workflow, navigate to the Requests Module, and click on the Workflows menu item in the left navigation pane.
Workflow Definition
The configured steps of a workflow are collectively known as a “Workflow Definition”.
Adding a New Workflow
Existing Workflow Definitions may exist in the Workflows list. To add a new Workflow, click on the ADD WORKFLOW button in the top right corner.
The next screen will show some basic Workflow templates that can be added to RapidIdentity by clicking the three dots and selecting IMPORT.
To create a blank workflow, simply click on the CREATE NEW button in the top right corner.
This will open the Workflow Definition configuration screen. This is where the workflow steps can be added, including the workflow form.
Workflow Name
A unique name for the workflow definition is required, and can be referenced in the Entitlement Definition.
Key Components of the Workflow Definition

---|---|---|

Edit | Once a workflow is saved, an EDIT button will appear next to the Active toggle switch, and can be used to modify the workflow definition | |
