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

Every company can have its own custom Committed Contract Workflow in a project. So, the Committed Contract Workflow for company A can be different than that of company B. For instance, the workflow for a Committed Contract sent by company B to company C can be different than what it is for the company A sending a Committed Contract to company C. Also, the workflow for a Committed Contract sent by company B to company D can be different than what it is for the company B sending a Committed Contract 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 Committed Contracts to which other companies on the project.

You can choose from three types of workflows- 1) Approve in Sequence (Committed Contracts will be sent in an step by step workflow), 2) All must Approve (Committed Contracts will be sent to everyone in the workflow in one step and everyone will have to approve them in order to get them marked Approved), 3) Any can Approve (Committed Contracts will be sent to everyone in the workflow in one step and anyone can approve them in order to get them marked Approved). Let’s select the Approve in Sequence for example and also let’s select the check box located next to the ‘If rejected by any one approver in the process, do not send the Committed forward.’
