Workflows are chains of actions that help organize daily tasks in your company. Use them for approving invoices, issuing orders to employees, or arranging leave.
We have updated the interface in workflows. Now, you can see recommendations for completing fields and the average execution time of each workflow.

Go to Automation, open Workflows, click Start, and select a workflow.
A panel will slide out on the right, providing recommendations for completing fields and showing the average execution time. This helps you understand how long processes like arranging leave or business trips will take, so you can start the workflow on time.
Click Next, fill in the fields, and start the workflow.
How to start a workflow with constants
You can configure constants in workflows. These are values that rarely change or do not change at all. For example, the Leave Approval workflow has two constants: Final approver and Processor. Specify their values in the business process template parameters.

It is not possible to start a workflow with constants unless the Bitrix24 administrator specifies the constant values.
If a regular user without admin permissions tries to start a workflow, they will see a warning message: "Workflow can be started after the administrator has specified the constants." The user should notify an account administrator to add the constant values.
In brief

Workflows help organize daily tasks like approving invoices, issuing orders, or arranging leave.
-
The updated interface makes it easier to control and start workflows by providing recommendations and showing the average execution time.
