Why can’t I see a workflow transition button?

If you can’t see a workflow transition button, it means the button has been restricted. 

 Transition buttons can be restricted based on a field, role, team, or a condition that has not yet been met. 


To view workflow transition settings, you must be a System Administrator



How to check workflow transition restrictions? 

  1. Navigate to Admin > Workflows. Open the relevant workflow. 
  2. Scroll down to the section ‘Restrictions’. 
    Note: If all restriction fields are blank, it means the transition (button) can be seen and used by anyone with update access to the record. 

 

When the required conditions are met, the button will automatically appear for the specified users, roles, or teams. 





Example


Field
Description
Field Restrictions

Transition is visible to users who are referenced in a specific field on the record, e.g. Owner or Assignee.

Role Restrictions

Transition is visible to users with a specific role, e.g. WHS Manager.

Teams Restrictions

Transition is visible only to specific teams, e.g. Inspection Team.


Tip

In the workflow transitions list view, a System Administrator can see which users, roles, or teams have access to each button.
