Tips for choosing a template

  • Start with the closest match — it is faster to remove steps you do not need than to add ones from scratch
  • Check the branch logic — approval-flow templates have a "Decision" radio field on the branch node; make sure "Approve" and "Reject" match the language your team uses, or rename them
  • Assignee rules that say "dept head" refer to the head of the requester's department — set department heads in Departments → Management before publishing
  • Fixed-email and department-specific rules are removed on clone — you will need to re-configure them in the Assignee panel after cloning
