Cycle processes overview

Cycle process definitions are used to control the default events that occur in each cycle period. Each defined event is based on a workflow created in the ION Desk.

A cycle process can be linked to a cycle (definition). The Cycle definition contains the calendar details. When a cycle period is created, the cycle period calendar with the cycle process creates a process calendar which contain:

  • A list of cycle process calendar events for a particular cycle period.
  • The dates for the cycle process events to be executed.

You can view a cycle period's process calendar on the Cycle Period Process Calendar page.

Note: 
  • A workflow definition assigns the tasks and alerts to ensure the participants in the process are informed of how and when the task must be completed.
  • Cycle periods can be manually created or can be generated by the application.
