Each workflow includes customizable options for:

  • Project Charter Layout
  • Workflow for Tasks & Task Groups
  • Project Benefits with Lock/Unlock option
  • Access control by department
  • Default Approval options

Each new KPI Fire account includes a set of templates that bring best practices of Lean and 6 Sigma and make them available to you.  Your Admin Licenses Users  can browse through the available templates in:  Settings>>Workflows

You can organize your workflows into Tabs.  By default you should see a “General” tab, or you can add new tabs.

To copy/clone one of these templates to your own account, click on the desired workflow template and  use the “Move to” option to copy it to one of your desired tabs.  Once you copy/move the template to your own account, you can begin making changes to it.  And remember to enable the workflow for your desired departments in the Settings tab.
