Overview of Customer Intelligence 360 Workflows and How to Create them
Customer Intelligence 360 workflows enable you to automate processes to save time. A workflow consists of a series of steps that are executed in a specific order to track the progress of a project. Marketing teams can build workflow templates based on best practices. These templates can be created for product launches, collateral designs, advertising, direct marketing, sponsorships, event management, and so on.

On the Details tab, enter a Name and Description for your workflow
-
On the Workflow Tasks tab, select the contributors who will execute the tasks
-
For each contributor, enter the duration in days. The duration is the number of working days, excluding weekends and holidays, that the contributor has to complete the workflow task. When you enter the duration, the due date is automatically calculated

Alternatively, you can change the due date and the duration is calculated accordingly

You can switch between a table view of the workflow task and a calendar view by clicking the appropriate icons. You can access a Gantt view to visualize the start and end dates for each workflow task and the contributors. If a contributor is removed from a task, that contributor is not visible in the calendar view.
