[1OFFICE] ANNOUNCEMENT: NEW VERSION OF THE OBJECT APPROVAL WORKFLOW

• The interface for nodes within the process is more modern, intuitive, and easier to set up than the previous version.
• The management screen, which includes statistical data and version history, helps users easily track, evaluate, and reuse previous process versions if needed.
• Additional automated nodes such as scheduling, sending emails, and notifications help make the approval process faster and more efficient.
• Approval processes are now set up for each specific object individually, rather than in the general BPA screen as before, making them easier to manage, track, and avoiding confusion during setup.

• Process name
• Status: Select Active or Paused for the process
• Object: Select one or more child objects in the system to apply the process to
• Followers: Select users who can view the process and receive notifications about its progress
• Display approval process in the object: Choose yes or no to display the approval process in the object’s details section
• Process type: Choose one of the following two process types:
  • Approval process: Set up conditions and approvers for each step in the process
  • Optional approver: Set up approvers for each step and allow users to select an approver when submitting for approval

Note: Each object can only have one approval process. The system will display a warning if you create a new process for an object that already has one.

• Condition: The new condition node allows you to group multiple conditions into a single node, making the approval process simpler, more intuitive, and more efficient. This node also supports flexible branching, improving work processing capabilities and reducing errors.
• Notification: Automatically sends notifications to users with pre-composed content.
• Email: Automatically sends emails with pre-configured content.
• Schedule: Set a delay time before executing the next action.
