Guidelines for Screen Publishing

  • Changes made to a screen are reflected in both in-progress and new cases.

  • The  changes apply immediately, even if a task is currently active in a user's inbox. Re-opening or refreshing the task will display the updated screen.

  • There is no need to publish the entire process; only the updated screen needs to be published.

Follow these guidelines to publish a new version of your Screen:‌

  1. Click the Publish button from Screen Builder's top menu.‌

  2. In the Publish a New Version screen, optionally enter a Name and Description. It is recommended to provide a name and description so the versions are easily identifiable when viewing the Screen's version history.

    Publish New Version

  3. Click Publish to publish the Screen. Otherwise, click Cancel to return to the Screen Builder without publishing.
