A workflow may require the use of documents to complete an action, communication, or approval step. Prior to completing a workflow step, the needed document(s) must be added or attached to the workflow using one of the following methods:

  • Add a document from the Documents tab in the Workflow Profile. Adding a document to a workflow is necessary if there is not a document stored in Conga Contracts that meets the needs of the workflow.
  • Attach a Contract, Company, Project, or Global document from the Documents button in the Workflow Profile. A Profile or Global document stored in Conga Contracts can be attached to the workflow.

Attaching a Document to a Workflow

In identifying the documents that need to be attached to the workflow, it is recommended that you review the name and descriptions of the steps in the workflow. The Completion Notes for a step, which are accessed by clicking its + icon, can also be useful in identifying the documents that need to be attached to a workflow.

  1. Open the Contract, Company, or Project Profile containing the workflow that needs the document attachment.
  2. In the Contract or Company Profile, click Workflows in the toolbar.

  10. Click + for a contract document in the Available Documents section to move it to the Attached Documents section, making it an available document for the workflow's communication steps.
