Workflows
Brief Overview
The Workflows application offers a catalog of custom and configurable pre-defined workflows meant to improve business processes. The app is designed to involve a broader audience, including Line of Business Managers and other DAP stakeholders, in planning, monitoring, and reviewing digital adoption initiatives. The catalog's advanced AI capabilities help filter and suggest relevant workflows based on the user's business domain, making it easier for stakeholders to find what they need.
Workflows are highly detailed use cases or processes within a business domain. They are made up of tasks, pre-defined WalkMe content that builders can implement in the WalkMe Editor, that are all individual steps in the overall workflow process.
Workflows also includes a Requests List that allows business stakeholders to communicate their requirements directly to their DAP team/CoE, who can then prioritize and develop the requested digital adoption solutions.
Additionally, the tool offers insights and analytics features, including a dashboard that tracks and displays relevant data tailored to each manager's specific needs.
The Workflows application can be accessed at:
-
US Data Center: console.walkme.com/userworkflows
-
EU Data Center: eu-console.walkme.com/userworkflows
Use Cases

- Prioritize DAP strategies: Use the Request List to manage digital adoption initiatives including defining priority statuses.
- Request DAP implementations: Submit requests for one or multiple Tasks to be implemented by your WalkMe project team
- Review DAP impact: Create custom dashboards to review related analytics to the Workflow and Tasks implemented
How It Works
Workflows Catalog
Explore Workflows in the Workflow Catalog, which serves as a homepage providing a high-level view of all active and available workflows that span across 20+ business domains and industries.
The catalog has two main sections:
- Active Workflows: Workflows that have been requested or assigned
- Workflows: All available workflows that can be searched or filtered by business domain

Requests List
Manage your tasks from the Requests List page. The requests list serves as a high-level project management feature, allowing you to easily update the status of your tasks and access crucial information related to them. You can also communicate to your colleagues using comments.
While the layout and features of your Requests List page differ based on whether you have access to the Business View or Standard View, there are several key capabilities that remain consistent. These include:
- Assign a builder to a task
- Update a task status
- Select the priority for a task
- Set a due date
- View the related workflow, business domain, and content level
- Communicate with your team
- Delete tasks
Workflow Insights
Business view users are able to review custom dashboards created by builders for the associated workflows and tasks by utilizing the content tagging process and custom insights dashboards.
These dashboards are a critical tool for reviewing and monitoring the performance of workflows. By providing an overview of their success, they enable you to make informed decisions and take necessary actions to enhance their efficiency.
