Redwood Experience for Flow Submission

The Submit a Flow page has been moved to the Redwood toolkit, giving the page the look of Redwood, along with the backend functionality that Redwood has to offer. With this new page you can now submit a flow, process, data load, or report.

Use the Submit a Flow task from Quick Actions or under My Client Group > Payroll to access this page.

Submit a Flow

Use the Submit a Flow page to do the following:

  • Use the context switcher on the page header to select a Legislative Data Group (LDG) and view flows for the selected LDG.
  • Use the Recently Submitted option to view the flows recently submitted by you. If multiple flow patterns have the same number of submissions, they are sorted alphabetically. 
  • Use the Search option to search for a specific flow that you want to submit.
  • View the list of flows by flow pattern and flow type. The flow pattern includes a process, report, data load, and task flow.
  • Select a flow to open the flow submission page and view or enter flow parameters. You can view all parameters, and enter values as required before the final submission of the flow.
  • View default parameters for a flow. For example, when you submit the calculate payroll process the process date and date earned parameters are defaulted based on the payroll period. 
  • Use the Schedule option to run the flow at your defined time and frequency. The default schedule is to submit a flow as soon as possible.
  • View all required parameters that are grouped together for quicker submission. Similarly, optional parameters are grouped together for easy submissions.
  • Use the Linked Flows tab to link another flow to your current flow or link your current flow to another flow. This feature is available by extending the functionality of this page.
  • Select the Process After Error check box to allow the flows to continue irrespective of the status of a prior task, in the same flow or a linked flow.
  • Use the Upload Parameter Files option to drag and drop files that include flow parameter details. This option displays on the flow submission page only if you have defined the flow to allow upload of a file. Use this option for select flows that require files to be uploaded. You can upload multiple files using this UCM upload option. 

Upload Parameters File

  • Click on the process configuration group link in the logging enabled message to navigate to the process configuration UI to review the configuration group and disable logging if required. This message is displayed in the Optional Parameters section only when logging is enabled on the flow.

Take advantage of all the features that come with the new Redwood Submit a Flow page for a more modern feel and experience.
