On the Edit workflow dialog, the following fields can be modified:

  • the Name of the workflow template

  • the Deadline Date Rule by selecting a calendar date or a Date Rule (if Offset Date is the Deadline Date Type)
  • the Starting Rule by selecting another Starting Rule or removing the existing one

Click OK to save changes or Cancel to discard.  Click Refresh to view the modifications.

Note: If a workflow is in use, a cog is displayed in the Running column and the edit option is greyed out.  An active workflow cannot be renamed; cancel all ‘in progress’ instances of this workflow and then rename it.
