Operation Templates

Operation Templates are collections of phases that can be included as part of a routing. An operation template consists of one or more phases. Ensure operation templates are configured to be reusable in multiple routings.

To view and configure operation templates, navigate to Configuration > Workflow > Operation Templates.

You can use these options on the Operation Templates screen:

  • Add: Allows you to create a new operation template.
  • Edit: Allows you to edit the existing operation templates.
  • View: Allows you to view the existing operation templates that are locked (used on approved routings).
  • Layout: Allows you to configure the phases, parameters and transitions within existing operation templates.
  • Delete: Allows you to delete the existing operation templates.
  • Retire: Allows you to retire the existing operation templates. You cannot use retired operation templates on routings.
  • Copy: Allows you to copy an existing operation template to create a new one.
  • Revise: Allows you to create a new revision of existing operation templates. Retired operation templates cannot be used in routings.
  • Validate: Allows you to verify the validity of an existing operation template. For example, verifying all required transitions exist.
  • Phases: Allows you to view the phases used by an operation template.
  • Transitions: Allows you to view the transitions configured on an operation template.
  • Referrers: Allows you to view the routings that use an operation template.
  • Export: Allows you to export existing operation templates to a .json file.
  • Import: Allows you to import operation templates from .json files.
