In this topic, we'll show you how to setup a custom workflow for the Transmittal Process. You can customize the Transmittal Workflow to suite your project’s needs.

Every company can have its own custom Transmittal Workflow in a project. So, the Transmittal Workflow for company A can be different than that of company B. For instance, the workflow for a Transmittal sent by company B to company C can be different than what it is for the company A sending a Transmittal to company C. Also, the workflow for a Transmittal sent by company B to company D can be different than what it is for the company B sending a Transmittal to company C. The workflows can be easily setup in advance and automated using the Custom Workflows feature. You can also choose which companies can send Transmittals to which other companies on the project.
