Why use Vault Object Workflows for approvals?
Vault Object Workflows are a highly configurable approval process that can meet the complexity of your organization's guidelines to ensure your events stay compliant:
- Dynamic routing based on event attributes – You can define Decision steps that evaluate the event's own field values, for example, event type, country, and datetime, and route it to the appropriate reviewer automatically
- Multi-step, multi-role approval flows – A single workflow can include sequential approval tasks assigned to different people or groups at different stages, giving you fine-grained control over who reviews what and when
- Verdicts that determine next steps – When an approver completes their task, their verdict can drive the workflow in different directions, enabling branching logic without manual intervention
- Validate data during execution - You can validate that the correct tasks are completed before the organizer or approver can complete their workflow step. Ensuring all steps are completed before as the event moves through the lifecycle.
- Delegate approver support – If your designated approver is unavailable, a configured delegate can accept and complete the task on their behalf, ensuring events are never held up waiting for a single person
