Routings Tab

The Routings tab is where you set up an approval workflow for your form. Paper forms often have several approvers. The Routings tab can be set up to replicate that approval flow.

Navigation: Manage GT eForms 3.x > Form Setup - Routings tab

Routings

The Routings Tab associates a PeopleSoft Approval Workflow Engine (AWE) Definition ID with the form type. See the AWE Configuration Settings document for more information.

Definition IDSelects the Approval Process Definition ID

Gideon Taylor delivers the GT Basic Process ID for single stage, single path approval workflows. There are several Definition IDs within the GT Basic process that offer varying numbers of steps. GT Basic definitions can be used in combination with participation rosters. These definitions can be used for very basic approval workflows, but they should not be altered since GT may deliver updates to them. A custom Process ID can be created with the AWE Setup Page to configure advanced workflows 

If blank, form will not route for workflow
Note: changing a definition ID will clear any existing configuration on the Routings tab
