Workflows

A workflow divides compliance, risk and other related business processes into stages and allows you to pre-assign participants (stakeholders), define requirements for transitioning between stages, and automate run-time process controls and activities, such as sending e-mail notifications and updating status.

The workflow initiator, such as a program owner, manages their own workflow and performs actions like reassigning, adding stakeholders, and forcing a transition to another stage. To view workflows on the Configuration menu, you must have the Workflow View permission. To create, update, or modify a workflow stage, you must have the Workflow Update permission.

The following table lists the default workflows. The type of workflow that you see on the Configuration > Workflows menu depends on which RiskVision application you're using.
