Manage Workflow Transitions

Goal: Control how records move between workflow statuses and which profiles can perform each move.

Before you start

  • The source and target statuses must already exist.
  • You must have permission to manage workflows.
  • Decide which profiles should be allowed to use the transition.
  • Prepare any criteria that should limit when the transition is available.
