Assign state flows to a job

A state flow is a workflow specifically for jobs that consists of a series of states, transitions, and actions. The following example shows a simple state flow with three states.

To create stateflows, you must have the necessary permissions.

You can assign one or more state flows to a job, which is useful when you want to apply multiple variants of a particular flow to the same job.

Using a state flow, you can automate the following aspects of the process:

  • Assignment - Allocate the resources needed to perform specific granular activities within a job.
  • Quick action - Make individual action buttons available to the dedicated collaborator in each state.
  • Status - Transition the job status automatically on completion.

To assign state flows to a job:

  1. On the menu bar, click Project > Jobs.
  2. In the list, click the job you want to assign state flows to.
  3. On the job details page, click More actions > Assign state flows.
  4. In the State flows dialog, click Add , select the check boxes next to the state flows you want to assign, and click OK.
  5. Click Save.
