3. Enter the parameters.

| Parameter       | Description                                                                                    |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| List Name       | A unique name for the workflow object. In this example, enter **IncidentTaskStatus**.          |
| Display Name    | A name that appears on workspaces. In this example, enter **Incident Task Status**.            |
| Description     | A brief description of what the workflow does.                                                 |

4. Click **Save**. The workflow is created.
5. Click **Add Version**. First version of the workflow is created and the Workflow Designer appears.
6. Drag and drop appropriate blocks from the **Blocks** panel to design the workflow.
7. Connect all the blocks in a logical flow.

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
In this example, **Start**, **Run Program**, **Wait for Child** and **Stop** blocks are used.

8. Define the properties for the blocks by double-clicking the header of the block.
9. Define the following properties.

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
For example, double-click the header of **Wait for Child **block. The properties window appears.

## Testing the Workflow

Test the workflow by creating an incident record with multiple tasks. Set the tasks to various states and observe the workflow instance.
