Workflow Components
Priority
Priority defines where this workflow stands relative to other workflows. Lower numbers indicate higher priority as the workflows are evaluated in order of priority.
This feature ensures that when multiple workflows match the same trip request, only the workflow with the highest priority (lower number) executes. Users can manually set priorities when creating or editing workflows, and the system prevents duplicate priority assignments to avoid conflicts.
For example, if in Tip Category a Sports Event is selected for 1st priority and All option is selected for 2nd priority, then any new trip request related to Sports Event will be redirected to the 1st priority. Though the Sports Event is common in both the priority the 1st priority has lower number and thus system redirects the trip through it.
Trip Categories
The trip categories help choose trip types to target specific scenarios. You can add multiple categories.
Department
It defines the relevant departments to which the workflow applies. Multiple departments can be included in a workflow.
Vehicle Type
