Configure automated solutions

After you create a Smart Process Automation (SPA) and add it to your automated solution, configure it based on your workflow. If your solution includes multiple SPAs, configure each one separately.

This article covers how to set up:

Example: a recruitment SPA that tracks candidates from application to hiring. It stores candidate data, manages vacancies, and uses automation to generate job offers and assign HR tasks.


Configure the SPA item form

Set up the item form so employees can quickly find and enter information. In this example, the form includes candidate details and the related vacancy.

To create or edit fields:

  1. Open the Kanban or List view.
  2. Click the gear icon (⚙️).
  3. Select Field settings.

On this page, you can:

  • View all custom fields in the SPA
  • Create new fields
  • Edit existing fields
Manage fields This page shows a list of all the custom fields in your SPA.

Each SPA has its own fields. If you use multiple SPAs, create fields for each one separately.

To create a field:

  1. Choose a field type.
  2. Enter a name.
  3. Set additional options.

Custom fields of invoices and smart processes

To add fields to the item form:

  1. Open any item form.
  2. Click Select field.

Example: Create separate sections for candidate details and job information.

Sections For instance, the item form in the screenshot has two sections with their own set of fields.

Configure the Kanban and List views

You can work with SPA items in two views: Kanban and List. Switch between tabs in the interface to configure each view.

Add automation rules and triggers to stages to create tasks, send notifications, copy items to another SPA, and more.

Control who can access and manage the SPA.
