Overview
Depending on the permissions set by your institution, upon editing a schedule and hitting “Save”, the workflow might or might not reset. This article outlines permission options and the impact those will have on resetting workflows.
Within the request permissions for all products, the “Edit Requests without Updating Workflow” permission is used to control what options a user has when they edit a request.
Permissions Set to “Deny”
If this permission is set to Deny/Off and a user edits a request, they will see the following message when they save. The message explains that saving the request will reset the workflow and disregard all existing approvals.
Permission Set to “Allow”
If the permission is set to Allow/On, a user will see a dropdown that allows them to choose whether or not to reset the workflow.
