-
Click the From drop-down menu. You will see the list of stages. Select the initial stage.

Click the To drop-down menu. Select the second stage of the routes.
-
Assign a person or a group of persons that will be allowed to move the request from one stage to another while handling the request by selecting them in the appropriate drop-down menus.
-
Choose the conditions for which the request will be able to navigate the route to the next stage. More information about the condition assigning you can read in the instruction to the Generic Request (Conditions) module.
-
If you select the Auto Only check box, request will be moved by this route automatically by triggers.
-
If the route leads to request closing, a new Require Response field will appear. Select this check box to make response required when operator (manager) closing the request. Below, the text box will appear where you can specify the default response text.
-
If necessary, assign actions that will be performed when the request navigates along the route. To do this, click Actions on the right at top. More information about assigning actions and conditional actions you can read in the instructions to the Generic Request Actions and Generic Request (Conditional Actions) modules.
