How to add Steps and Tasks to your Process Template
The hierarchy of a Weever Process Template is built on the relationship between Steps and Tasks.

The hierarchy of a Weever Process Template is built on the relationship between Steps and Tasks.
-
Steps act as organizational containers—or "logical sections"—that group related activities, such as pre-production hygiene checks or final quality audits.
-
Within these Steps, individual Tasks define the specific actions required by the workforce.Tasks are categorized into two primary types:
- Form Tasks: These require the user to interact with a digital form to input specific data points (e.g., hygiene checkpoints, weights, or temperatures).
- Instruction Tasks: These provide visual or procedural guidance without requiring a form submission, such as a directive to "visually inspect a conveyor belt".
- A critical component of multi-stage workflows is the ability to update an existing submission.
- This feature allows different users or job roles—such as an operator followed by a supervisor—to interact with the same digital record.
- By selecting this option for approval tasks, the system ensures that signatures are applied to the relevant data rather than generating a new, blank entry.
- Additionally, the system streamlines form design by automatically capturing timestamps for all interactions, removing the need for manual date fields.
"How-To" Guide: Building Steps and Tasks
Creating Organizational Steps
- In the Process Builder, click to add a new Step.
- Provide a clear, logical name (e.g., "Startup Checkpoints") to act as a "bucket" for related work.
Configuring Tasks
- Inside a Step, select "Add Task."
- For Data Collection: Choose a Form Task and link it to the specific digital form you previously built.
- For Simple Guidance: Choose an Instruction Task to provide a directive that does not require a form submission.
- Assign Roles: Tag the appropriate job roles so the correct staff are notified when it is their turn to work.
Setting Up Sign-offs and Approvals
- Add a new task for the signature or approval.
- Crucially, select "Update an existing submission" instead of starting a new form to ensure the signature is attached to the previous data.
- Select the specific signature field that must be completed to finalize the task.
Defining Completion Criteria
- Navigate to the Required Fields section of the task configuration.
- Select only the fields that must be filled to mark the task as "Done." Fields like "Comments" or "Corrective Actions" can remain optional
