## What is Kuali Build?

Kuali Build is a no-code online forms and workflow automation solution designed specifically for higher education. 

## Who is Kuali Build for?

Kuali Build is intended as a self-service workflow tool for university departments to build their own workflow applications on a platform that is centrally supported by ITS and Kuali. The rich capability of forms design and workflow engine, along with an easy-to-use interface, provides a much more effective and efficient experience as compared to using PDF or Word documents for facilitating electronic workflow.

> ℹ️ ### Electronic Signature:
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ - Consider Build when... Your team needs to create rich form-based processes that involve data from existing campus systems, have multi-step approval processes, or could be improved with optimized data analysis and reporting capabilities. Example processes include a Change of Major Request, Fellowship Application, or Purchase Order Request.
> ℹ️ - Consider DocuSign or other tool when... Your team needs to collect legally verifiable signatures on existing contracts/agreements with very simple approval processes. Example files include Work Authorizations, Release of Information, Enrollment Verification or Permission Slips.
