Using the Process List for Form Workflows
Form workflow topics
The Winshuttle Process List is the portion of a FormEx site that shows information about any workflow items currently being routed. From the Winshuttle Process List you can do things such as change the appearance of the process List, cancel a form that is routing, or re-assign a process to another user.
Only items that are currently routing through a workflow will be listed. Regular users are not permitted to see other users’ processes. Only Administrators (users with Manage Lists rights) can see all workflow items currently in process for the given site.
NOTE: By default, items listed in yellow are due within seven days and items listed in red are overdue.

(The system will handle this properly and give a message that the item no longer exists.) |
