Overview

When a state is created, it will appear on the Admin: Edit Workflow screen. An Administrator can edit the state's name, color, category, properties, components, and roles.

An Administrator can also delete a state from a workflow. Before a state can be deleted, all transitions on all states that move an object to that state must be deleted first. For example, all transitions that move an object to the Archived state must be deleted before the Archived state can be deleted from the workflow.

User Account Requirements

The user account you use to log into Resolver must have Administrator permission to access the Object Types tile.

6. If you have selected any fields in the Required Components section, these fields must also be added to any corresponding form. If these required fields are not on a form, users cannot transition the form to the next state, as required fields must be filled out on the form to move the form to the next state. Transitions with the Bypass Required Fields toggle switch (Edit Trigger pop-up) enabled would allow users to transition the form to the next state, bypassing the required fields selected in the Required Components section.
