Workflow Administration Configuration

Dayforce uses workflows to automate business processes. Each workflow represents a single process and captures all of the notifications, forms, and decisions involved in the process. When a user initiates a workflow by submitting an associated form or guided process, the workflow determines what happens at each stage in the process. The Dayforce HR self-service features rely on Message Center to route and show forms and notifications.

Functionality for configuring workflows is contained in the Workflow Administration feature, which contains the following sub-features:

Sub-Features in Workflow Administration
Sub-Feature Description
Workflow Designer Create workflows that process forms. See Workflow Designer Configuration.

Role Privileges Associate forms or guided processes with workflows, and set which roles can access each form. See Associate Forms with Workflows.
Form Category Create form categories, which group forms in Workflow Administration > Role Privileges. See Manage Form Categories.
