Introduction

The Workflow section of the Connected FS Settings site allows business users to tailor the tasks required for each Investigation. This page describes how to manage workflow templates.

Business users can add and edit the workflow templates that assign default tasks for a type of Investigation.

For each Investigation process, users can set up individual workflow templates to tailor the process to each specific customer.

View templates

On the Connected FS Settings site, a grid lists all of the information that is pertinent to Investigation templates. Users can use this information to determine which templates already exist and when they were last updated.

To view the Investigation templates, navigate to the Connected FS Settings site and click WORKFLOW.

From here, you have the option to view either Active or Inactive templates. Active templates are ones that are able to be used during runtime processes. Inactive templates are ones that cannot be accessed during a runtime process, but can be edited or activated.

You can search or filter this list for a particular template. Clicking the history icon history icon will take you to the Template History for that template with a list of all the changes that have been made to it. To view a template as read only, click the menu icon and select View.

Add Questions

On the questions step of the workflow process, business users set up the screening questionnaire that will be created when the KYC process is kicked off. Questions can be added either individually or by using a pre-built rule.

Rules and questions can be grouped into categories. Categories are the grouping name that the end user will see when filling out the questionnaire because the rule name will not be shown.

    • Adding questions individually will add the single question into the category and follow up questions can be configured from there.
  6. Once all questions have been added to the categories, click NEXT.

For dropdown and radio button questions, users are able to control Response Risk Scores for the individual template instead of using the default Response Risk Score set during question creation.

A customer’s overall risk score is calculated by summing all response risk scores for every selected response in a questionnaire.

After the tasks are all added, business users can then define the specific task configurations including:

  • Dependents: Tasks that will be assigned upon completion of all tasks identifying them as their dependent.
  • Assigned group: The business unit responsible for completing the task.

  • Days: The number of days that the task will be due before the target completion date.

When you finish creating the template, click SUBMIT to save it.
