Flows is an automated version of the Workflows feature that uses both stages and steps to complete a process or procedure that a project must go through. A flow is like a road map you must follow to accomplish the tasks your Administrators want you to accomplish for a project. A project flow automatically displays at the top of the Project Profile screen when the profile is created and the project matches the criteria defined for running the flow. However, a user with the Flow Admin permission can manually run a flow on a Project Profile.

A company and/or contract flow is automatically added to a Project Profile when any Company and/or Contract Profiles added to the project have existing flows running on their Profile.

You can perform the following tasks related to a project flow:

• View a flow in a project

• Receive email for a flow step
• Complete an action flow step
• Approve a flow step
• Send a message for a flow step
• Reassign a flow step
• Review flow activities
• Review the Flow Diagram
