Understanding Workflows

Workflows help you standardize and automate case processes and data collection.

Workflows define how cases are structured, what steps are required, and how data is collected.


What a Workflow Controls

A workflow controls:

  • The tasks that appear in a case

  • The fields that users must complete

  • The tags, stage, and case name applied at creation

  • The users and teams who are automatically included

This ensures every case follows a consistent process.


What You Will See in a Case

Workflows can be configured differently by your organization, so what you see may vary.

When a workflow is applied, you may see:

  • A set of pre‑defined tasks

  • Fields within those tasks that require input

  • Case tags, stage, and case name automatically applied if configured in the workflow builder

  • Case rooms and participants based on workflow settings

You do not need to set these up manually. The workflow can apply these automatically based on how it is configured.


Why Workflows Matter

Workflows help your team:

  • Stay consistent by following the same process every time

  • Reduce manual work by automatically setting up cases

  • Ensure required data is captured before completing tasks

  • Keep everyone aligned with real‑time updates

  • Track and report on data through consistent structure


Key Workflow Components

Tasks and Fields

Tasks define the steps in a case.

Fields inside each task capture important information, such as donor details or case updates.

Default Settings

Default settings apply automatically when a case is created. These can include:

  • Case name

  • Case tags

  • Case stage

  • User access and visibility

PDF Mapping

PDF mapping allows data from uploaded documents to be automatically placed into the correct fields, reducing manual entry.

Analytics Mapping

Analytics mapping connects workflow data to reporting so it can be viewed in dashboards and used for insights.


Who Manages Workflows

Workflows are created and managed by Organization Managers.

While most users do not edit workflows, they interact with them every time they work in a case.


Example

A transplant coordinator may use a workflow to manage:

  • Donor information

  • Case tasks

  • Transportation steps

  • Required documentation

Each new case starts with the same structure, ensuring nothing is missed.


Summary

Workflows automatically set up how a case works by:

  • Defining tasks and required data

  • Applying case settings and structure

  • Adding the right users and teams

  • Supporting consistent, trackable processes
