Approval Fields

The Advanced tab in Cflow allows you to configure approval stages within your workflow. The Approval Fields section provides options to define the status and comments associated with each stage.

Status Section

  • Name: Allows users to provide a name or label for the status field, helping to identify the purpose or meaning of the status within the workflow. 
  • Default Value: Users can set a default value for the status field, which will be applied when the form is opened for the first time. 
  • Display in Stage Inbox: This checkbox enables users to display the field in a specific stage’s inbox. 
  • Valid Values: Users can define selectable values for the status field, such as “New,” “Approved,” and “Rejected.” These options will be available for users when updating the status.

Comments Section

  • Name: Allows you to specify a name or label for the comments field associated with the stage. This helps users understand the purpose of the comments section. 
  • Visible/Invisible Checkbox: This checkbox controls whether the comments field is visible to users in the current stage. 
  • Mandatory Field: You can set this to Yes, No, or Conditional Mandatory, requiring users to provide comments before proceeding, based on your workflow needs.
