A Workflow determines what happens to a document once a form is filled out, including what approvals need to occur and any notifications that should be generated.  You can configure a Workflow by navigating to the Workflow Builder from the top right side of the app tool bar.

## What steps can be added to a Workflow?

- <u>Approval</u> - approval of a course, program, form, etc.
- <u>Task</u> - Add a task step that needs to be completed in or outside of Kuali
- <u>Acknowledgment</u> - allows a user or role to acknowledge a form's submission
- <u>Notification</u> - a configurable email sent to a selected user
- <u>Branch</u> - proposal routing based off conditions from the form
- <u>Integration</u> - allows you to select from a list of pre-configured integrations if any were created during implementation.
- <u>Echo</u> - allows you to run one to many steps in the workflow for each value entered in a multi-select field or a table gadget.  For example, based on users added in a table - it would cycle through all rows and route to all users specified.
