  • STEP 3: Select a workflow to provide access levels to the workflow. User roles would be workflow based.

Note: If this checkbox is ticked, the Register Filter will be disabled for users with this User Role assigned.

  • STEP 5: Tick Display Only Created to make the user role to view the incident records which the user has created.

Note: After this checkbox is ticked, the Register Filter will be disabled for users with this User Role assigned.
