Duplicating a workflow definition
You can initialize a new workflow definition by duplicating an existing workflow definition. Similarly, when you wish to configure a workflow supplied as standard, you must duplicate the corresponding workflow definition.
Do not modify the workflow definitions proposed by HOPEX to avoid loosing modifications when updating to a new version of HOPEX.To duplicate a workflow definition:
1. From the Utilities navigation window, expand the "Workflow Definitions" folder.
2. From the pop-up menu of the workflow definition, for example "Request For Change", select Duplicate.
3. Enter the name of the new workflow definition, as well as the prefix or suffix used to name duplicated objects.
The new workflow definition is displayed in the "Workflow Definitions" folder.
When the workflow definition has been duplicated, you must:
• deactivate the obsolete workflow definition
• activate the duplicate of the workflow definition when you have completed specification
To activate or deactivate a workflow definition:
In the workflow definition dialog box, select or clear the Active Workflow Definition check box.
If the workflow definition is deactivated the workflow cannot be started.
