Event Status Workflow

Event Status Workflow


Info
Now you can design and set custom workflow status flows for each incident (Event) type, assign or reassign owners on the fly, and trigger smart notifications - all with full audit tracking behind the scenes.
We're working on additional enhancements in this space and we'd love your feedback - get in touch to share your thoughts.

Notes
The setup of this functionality is applicable for Administrators and/or Administrators - Events. Contact your site administrator if you require access to this functionality.

Configuring Event Statuses 

To check what statuses have been created, or to create new statuses / edit existing statuses:
  1. Navigate to the Maintenance tab along the top ribbon menu. 
  2. Select the Event module. 
  3. Select Status.

Alert
The event module name is configurable, so may be called something else in your organisation - i.e. Incidents 

The list of Statuses will be listed. To add a new Status, click the menu icon in the top-left hand corner then New Status
To edit an existing Status, click the Pencil icon next to the relevant status. 

Configuring Workflow 

  1. Navigate to the Maintenance tab along the top ribbon menu.
  2. Select Events. 
  3. Select Types of Events
  4. You'll see a new icon  amongst the icons to the right of the Event forms. Click this icon. 
  5. Follow the prompts in the pop-up window. 


  6. Step 1: Select which statuses are relevant for this Event type. 
  7. Step 2: Select which statuses can transition to the other - e.g. Which status options do you want available when the record is in 'New'? In the screenshot above, if a record is 'New', then the only status changes available would be 'Being Managed' or 'Rejected'. 
  8. Click Save

Updating Status within a record 

Once a record has been created, you'll see that the Status field has been moved to the top right on the Details page.
Alert
All mandatory fields will need to be entered and saved in order to update the status. 

  1. Select the new desired status. A pop-up window will appear as shown below:
  2. The status you selected will be listed in (1). If the wrong status was selected, you can update that here. 
  3. If the record needs to be reassigned to someone else due to this new status, select the new Managed By position.
  4. Leave a note in (3) to inform why the status was changed. Anything entered here will be available under the Notes tab on the record. 
  5. If additional positions are to be notified of this status change, select the positions in (4). 
  6. Click Save (5). 
Info
If required, review the audit log or record history to reference the changes.
