Life Sciences workflows guide you through your daily tasks, keeping you focused and on
track. When configured, you get a step-by-step view of activities and stages directly on the
record detail page. Checklists help you understand your next steps, and validations make sure
changes are accurate.

If an object has a Life Sciences workflow configured, you can see some or all of these
features. The workflow path and the available options depend on your Salesforce admin’s
workflow configuration, the record stage, and your current context.
Workflow Status and Progress
A color-coded progress bar at the top of
the record detail page shows each stage of the workflow. The record’s current stage is blue,
and completed stages are green.
Workflow Actions
At each stage of the workflow, your permissions to
create, edit, or delete records are determined by your admin’s workflow configuration and
your current role or context.
The action buttons on the record detail page also depend
on the current workflow stage and your context. For example, when a visit is in a Draft
state, you could see the Get Signature, Submit, and Email actions. In the Submitted state,
you could see only the Email action.
Checklists
On the record detail page, some Update Record actions include a checklist of the steps that are
required to move the record to the next stage. Actions that have a checklist include an
infobubble icon.
To see the checklist, tap or click the infobubble icon. Completed tasks show a green checkmark,
while incomplete tasks icons show a red X.
Validation Rules
When you perform an action, validation rules check that your changes follow business processes
and policies. A notification shows you all issues and indicates whether you need to correct
an error to proceed, or if you can continue with warnings.
