Manage Workflows

The Manage Workflows page lets you create automated approval flows for trip requests based on customizable rules. Workflows can include trip categories, departments, vehicle types, and priority levels, ensuring requests reach the right approvers. Each request is routed automatically according to predefined criteria, and multiple approvers can be assigned at each stage to prevent bottlenecks. All actions and decisions are tracked, providing a transparent audit trail for improved accountability.

Workflow Components

Priority

Priority defines where this workflow stands relative to other workflows. Lower numbers indicate higher priority as the workflows are evaluated in order of priority.

 

This feature ensures that when multiple workflows match the same trip request, only the workflow with the highest priority (lower number) executes. Users can manually set priorities when creating or editing workflows, and the system prevents duplicate priority assignments to avoid conflicts.

 

For example, if in Tip Category a Sports Event is selected for 1st priority and All option is selected for 2nd priority, then any new trip request related to Sports Event will be redirected to the 1st priority. Though the Sports Event is common in both the priority the 1st priority has lower number and thus system redirects the trip through it.
