In the context of Workflows, there are four instances where you need to select a manager:
- Default workflow instance manager (Workflow wizard/Instance defaults step)
- Step manager for any of the steps in a workflow:
- Tasks step (Step tab)
- Category-based decision step (Step tab)
- Manual decision step (Step tab)
- Parallel (Step tab)
- Manager of a workflow instance started by an Alert (Alert wizard/Outcomes step/Select Workflow dialog box)
- Manager of a workflow instance when manually starting a workflow (Start Workflow dialog box)
This manager may be a specific user or role (category of value type user). In the first three cases this selection is made in the Manager dialog box. (The Manager field in the Start workflow dialog box is a simple dropdown field described in Manually Starting a Workflow.)
