  • BPM ID - Required. An alphanumeric ID for the record.
  • Recalculate... Checkbox - Due dates are automatically calculated in the Workflow Tab when a record is submitted using the submit date and the Review Days defined in each approver step. If this box is checked, each time a workflow action is taken PMWeb will attempt to adjust due dates for remaining steps in the business process to take into account days saved or lost in the current step.
  • Single... Checkbox - If this box is checked, for all multi-approver steps in the business process that have the "All Must Approve" option selected, only one workflow email will be sent - when the last approver approves or any approver returns or rejects - rather than each time an action is taken.
  • Associate With Field - If the template is associated with one or more record types here only APM branch rules associated with those record types can be inserted in it and the template can only be assigned to the associated record type(s) on the Record Types Tab
