How can I customize the Form in Cflow?

Cflow provides a number of controls to customize the look and feel of your form.

1. Select Admin -> Workflows.
2. Click on a workflow.
3.  Select a process stage from Workflow Stages. Click on the Stage Properties icon to edit.

List View of Workflow Stages:

Note: You can also customize the workflow stages view by clicking the Flowchart view button on the top right corner. This shows all the workflow stages in the form of flowchart. Click on the initiator/reviewer stage and all the relevant menu options are shown on the left side.

Following are the properties that you can edit, enable or disable in the form. A brief explanation of the form properties is given below:

Stage Name – Each form has a number of process stages and each stage has a name. The stage name is editable and the name you mention in this field appears on the screen. You can easily identify the reviewer of the stage by the stage name.

SLA – Fill in the SLA field to set the deadline for completing at this stage. This shows up prominently to the reviewer so that your request can be approved without any delay.

Initiator Role – In the first stage, you can select the initiator role from the dropdown. Only the assigned users to the role can initiate the request.

Review Role – In the process stage select the role from the dropdown. Only the assigned users to the role can review the request in that process stage.

Deactivating a Stage: Turn off the toggle at the top right of the screen to set the reviewer stage inactive in your workflow. You can turn on the toggle at any time if you want to use the stage again.
