Creating Routes Using a Wizard

The Create Route Wizard lets you completely create a route and define all of its components. At the end of the wizard, you can choose to start the route immediately or wait to start the route.

If you choose "Promote Connected Object" for the"Route Completion Action" for an approval route, the connected object is promoted when the approvals are done. Promotion occurs even if the users who approved the tasks in the route do not have promote access. However, the route owner must have promote access for the content.

To quickly add route task and assignees to a route, you can base it on a route template. After creating a route, you cannot change the template it is based on. For more information, see About Routes.

For some non-document items added as content, you can choose a block promotion state. When a block promotion state is chosen for an item, the system will not let the item be promoted from the state until the route is complete.

Required access roles: If you have access to an object, you can create routes for it. For baseline behavior, you must have at least the Contributor access role.
