For example, a new daily report is in the Initial stage. When a user enters the time and submits the daily report, the report is in the Released state. The supervisor then either accepts or rejects the report. If the supervisor rejects the daily report, then the user can modify and resend the report for approval.

1. From App Launcher, find and select **Workflows**.
2. Select a workflow.
3. In the Workflow State Transitions related list, click **New**.
4. Enter a name.
5. Select the report's current status from the From Status dropdown.
6. Select the status to move the report to from the To Status dropdown.
7. If the transition happens from the initial stage, select **From Initial Stage**.
8. Select an event.
9. Save your changes.
