This is the name you see on the Workflows home page where your workflows are listed. We recommend changing the name to make it more meaningful than the arbitrary name assigned when you create it, but keep in mind it is a working name only, so users will not see it. It is recommended that you name your form/workflows using characters that are suitable for filenames. Following the POSIX filename standard (A–Z a–z 0–9 . _ - ) will ensure it works.  Click the Image Modifiedpencil icon above the Properties Navigator to edit the name then click the Image Removed checkmark to save or the Image Removed"X" cancel icon to discard your changes. You can also change the name on the Settings tab.

...

You can access the Settings tab in three ways:

• Click the Image Modified Edit  Edit Workflow Properties icon on the Workflow Designer toolbar. This will launch the Workflow Properties wizard. It defaults to the Settings tab.
• Click anywhere in the General Settings section in the Properties Navigator. This takes you directly to the Settings tab.
• Click the Image Modified inside  inside the  General Settings section in the Properties Navigator. This takes you directly to the Settings tab.
• Select/enter the properties for your workflow
• Click the Submit button to save the changes or navigate to another tab.

...

By default all workflow descriptions say, “Edit the workflow to change this description,” but you can change this if you wish. The description appears as a tool tip when you mouse over the area just to the right of the workflow's share Image Removed icon on the Forms and Workflows Home Page. You also see this description when you view individual submission documents.

• The name of the current step displays with a bright blue color. Note that the active step number is also circled in bright blue. Steps that have yet to be performed display with a light blue color.
  
  
  
• HTTP Wait-Notify and Anonymous Task steps, once performed, display with a faded blue color indicating that the workflow cannot be reset to this step.
• Skipped steps display with a light blue color and steps that have already been performed display with a black color. For example the Expense Report workflow shown in the image, has four steps: Expenses, Reviewer, Supervisor and Accounting. The employee fills out the Expense report for an amount less than $5000.00. The workflow is routed to a company reviewer and if approved, to Accounting for final processing. If the amount of the expense had been greater than $5000.00 then the workflow is routed to a Supervisor for an additional review before navigating to the Accounting department. The Supervisor step is skipped for Expense reports less than $5000.00. When the Accounting employee performs the task, here is what they will see:

• The Expenses and Reviewer steps display in black since they have already been performed.
• The Supervisor step is displayed in faded blue because it was skipped as the total amount of the expenses was less than $5000.00.
• The name and number of the Accounting step, which is the step that is currently being performed by the Accounting employee, display in a bright blue color.

 Refer to the precondition topic to see how to use them to skip a step in a workflow.

Mobile vs Desktop Behavior

...

However, on the desktop there is no "Previous" button so once the workflow gets to 2nd step there is no way to get back to 1st step. If the designer does not configure the Navigation Tool Bar in this situation once the user gets to the second step in the workflow, there is no way to return to the first step.

Anonymous Screenflow Navigation

...

Users can go to their Task List to retrieve the task and they will  be returned to the screen where they were when the browser was closed.

Let's say you have a screenflow with steps A > B> C and the user closes the browser at screen B. When the user performs the task from the Task List, the workflow will open up at step B.

Here is a short synopsis of when the current location is saved. Consider a workflow with the following steps/roles: Role1(A → B → C) → Role2(D) → Role3(E):

...

1. Edit the workflow in the Workflow designer.
2. Click on the Employee Information step. Click on the  Edit Step Properties icon. Click the General Settings tab.
3. Check Fast Finish.
4. Repeat for all the steps in the workflow where you want the Finish button to display.  
5. Save your changes.
   

If the steps in your workflow consist of forms and/or a summary step, Fast Finish forwards through the steps of your workflow until it hits one of the terminating conditions listed above.

Let's consider the Employee On Boarding workflow as an example. This workflow consists of a screenflow that is filled in by the new employee:
