Flow Stages and Steps in a Profile

A Contract, Company, or Project Profile displays a flow comprised of stages and steps at the top of the screen whenever a flow has been associated with the Profile. Users must complete the steps in the flow to accomplish a process or procedure that is required for the contract, company, or project. If a flow incorporates an existing workflow, a Launch Workflow button displays in the flow, which runs the Workflow Wizard and then adds the workflow to the Profile.

Although the Contract Profile is used in the example below, the same components also apply to a flow in a Company Profile and Project Profile, except for the Creation Template and eSignature steps.

Complete Step button	Click Complete to complete the step after you have performed the task associated with the action step.
Override button	Click Override to skip any step in the flow, and proceed to the next step.
Reassign button	Click Reassign to reassign the step to another user. The button is only present when the step is assigned to a specific user and they are allowed to reassign the step.
