Configure Pipeline Steps

If the default Pipeline Steps for an Entity doesn’t match your workflow, you can easily configure it to suit your pipeline. To configure Pipeline Steps, first head to the Entity you want to edit. For example, to configure the Shots pipeline, go to a Shots page (it can be any Shots page), and then look for the Pipeline button in the toolbar. If there is no Pipeline button, then as an Admin you will have to enable Tasks for Shots via Site Preferences.

Selecting the Pipeline button will display the existing Shot Pipeline Steps.

Admins can view and manage steps via the Pipeline Steps page, located under the Admin menu.

From the Pipeline Steps page, you can see all existing steps for all enabled entities, create new Pipeline Steps, and edit their metadata. You can also add additional fields to steps. Any fields you add will only be visible in the Pipeline Steps page.

Note:

Entity Type and Order fields are visible, but are read-only on the Pipeline Steps page.

By default, the page is grouped by entity type.
