Work Item Types

When a record, multiple records, or a saved set are sent to a workflow, the EnterWorks 2020 UI will display a Workflow Submission screen with multiple input fields, such as the following screen.

Workflow Submission Screen

The Workflow Submission screen is rendered based on the specified EPX Work Item Type. A Work Item type allows admins to specify how input should be specified by a user and what input should be gathered from the user.
