You activate workflow records before they can be routed
into a workflow process.
About this task
When you activate a workflow process record, the following
actions occur:
- The Workflow actions and buttons are added to the applications
associated with the object if those applications do not support workflow
yet.
- The Active check box is selected to indicate
that the record is currently being used to manage records.
- When you activate a process revision, the previously active revision
is deactivated. The product does not disable the revision because
active instances of the process might exist.
Procedure
- From the List tab of the Workflow
Designer application, select the process record that you want to activate.
- Select the Activate Process action.
If the applications associated with the object already support workflow,
a message displays in the navigation bar stating that the process
has been activated.
- Click OK.
