outcome codes
The OUTCOME CODES tab is used to create and manage Outcome Codes tailored to your needs. Outcome Codes are customizable descriptors to categorize how:
- Tasks are completed: When resolving a task (for example: Approved, Rejected, Needs Review), the selected Outcome Code categorizes the result and can also determine the subsequent workflow branch that should be followed based on that selection.
- Workflow Closure: When a workflow is closed, an Outcome Code is assigned to indicate how it ended and determine the next workflow branch. This is important for nested workflows, as the Outcome Code allows the workflow that contains the nested workflow to understand the result and decide the next step.
- Snoozing a Task: When snoozing a task (for example: Client cannot be contacted, Waiting for response, Requires additional activities), the Outcome Code categorizes the delay reason and helps track why the task was paused.
The following elements are displayed in the OUTCOME CODES tab:
| Element | Description |
