Transitions are the changes that should be done in contract workflows, from one condition or status to another, but this can be managed in a way to keep the process efficient through transitional screens, notifications to the concerned people, and permissions.

To add a new transition give it a name, describe it if needed, and specify the transition from and to status.

Transition Screens:

On each status transition, we can enable a popup screen that will force the user to fill in certain fields. This is used to protect your data integrity, ensuring that users do not skip or forget to enter data required by our practice.

Notifications:

Notifications can be configured to inform the needed parties about changes in the Contracts. For example, if at a certain point, a manager needs to be informed that a contract has passed a particular stage and requires their reviewal or approval, this can be achieved using a workflow.

Permissions:

Permissions can be set on each transition; this is used to control who has the ability to make changes in the transitions.

Approvals could be enabled so that the status of the contract can't be moved until the contract/document is approved by all the involved parties.

Once created you can then list and view transitions easily from the workflow page; click on the 3 lines next to the plus sign within each transitional status line.
