Routings Tab

The Routings tab is where you set up automatic approval workflow for your form. Usually paper forms must go to several people for approval. 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 Engine (AWE) Definition ID with the form type. See the AWE Configuration Settings document for more information.

Gideon Taylor delivers the GT Basic Process ID with several Definition ID options for a one stage, one path approval path. GT Basic options can be used in combination with participation rosters. (GT advises against using the GT delivered Process and Definitions outright. They are delivered to facilitate install/update validation in certain cases and may be used as templates. Custom Process IDs/Definition IDs should be configured for client use.)
