    In this tutorial, the details are configured using the example workflow from Best Practices for Creating a Payments Workflow, so you'll need to assign the following roles to perform the steps:

    • A Payments Admin to be the Workflow Manager. A workflow is only considered complete when a Workflow Manager is assigned to it.

    • A Payments Admin or Disburser to be an Assignee for the Controller Review step. Each unique response step in a workflow requires one or more assignees. When there are multiple assignees on a step, the first response given will move the workflow to the next step.

    • A Payments Admin or Disburser to be an Assignee for the CFO Review step. Each unique response step in a workflow requires one or more assignees. When there are multiple assignees on a step, the first response given will move the workflow to the next step.

    If you have created a custom workflow template, the details you configure will be unique to your environment.

  9. Click the Save button.

    Can I edit the workflow template later? Yes. You can add or remove steps from your workflow template at a later time. See Edit a Custom Workflow Template. Once editing is complete, you will also need to perform the steps above to re-configure the workflow's details.
