Workflow Request List Filtering

Filtering your workflow list

Each user can set up and save Filters within their Workflow Request List to allow quicker access to the Requests they most often need to see.

Filters:

• Requested From: The start of the date range you require
• Requested Until: The end of the date range you require
• Workflow: Which workflow you would like to see eg. a feedback workflow, publish workflow
• Requester: Who submitted the request
• Reviewer: Who has been nominated to review the asset
• Name: Search functionality for keywords, names of assets etc.
• Status: What status is the request at
• Waiting On: What requests are waiting on the selected person

You can use one or many filters to get the view you prefer.

A typical example would be to Filter where you are a Reviewer for a request that's Status is 'Pending', and you are the Waiting On, so upon opening the Workflow Request List (in your 'Workflow' or 'Approvals' tab) you will always first see the items that you need to review in your list.

Saving a Default Filter

To Save a default Filter set-up within your Workflow Request List simply select all the filter values you want to see in your default setting - such as Requester, Approver, Status, etc.

Once all your required values have been selected click the Save as Default checkbox.

Now click Search. This action will both run a live filtered search as well as save this for you so next time you access this page the filter values are automatically applied.  

At any time you can update your default filters, or change them 'on-the-fly' as required. 

Email Link Override

Note that links from Workflow Request Emails can temporarily override these settings and display only that specific Request. From there you can re-select your filters 'on-the-fly' to broaden the results, however note that the next time you click directly back into your Workflow Request List you will see your Saved Filters have been restored.

* Please note that some of the terms used above such as Workflows & Approvals are customisable and may appear differently in your platform.
