The workflow diagram will include all the logic to drive the process through your organization; however, it is better to take this step by step.
The initial focus of your workflow diagram should be to define the different stages in the process, but it is essential to have a good understanding of the whole process.
Open the workflow drawing canvas by clicking on the workflow icon.
Drag a workflow stage onto the canvas from the toolbox for each logical step in your process.
Name each stage with a name relevant to the process step and easy to understand. Examples could be “New Request,” “Manager Decision,” “Completed,” etc.
Link the stages together using the yellow join points on the stage edges to define the potential pathways that an instance may follow through the process. Conditional logic can be included using more than one pathway from a single stage.
