PerfectApps™ Help Guide

All stakeholders in the process will be mapped to a role in the workflow. From there, the roles can be mapped to specific users, user groups, a position or an e-mail field on the app or static e-mail address.

If a role is assigned to a position or user-group in the system then you only need to change the users that occupy the positions and user-groups rather than changing the roles within the individual apps.
