Update Workflows
----------------

Workflow Dashboard uses WorkflowAdmin cached data, when you made changes to workflow, state or state transition in M-Files admin, these changes will not appear in client view until the metadata cache is refreshed.
To refresh Workflow Dashboard's metadata cache, click on **Update Workflows** button, which is on the top right corner of Workflow Dashboard configuration.


Allow State Transitions
-----------------------

When set to ``Yes`` this will allow users to set object state into next transition using Workflow Dashboard by clicking on the state in the graph.

Default transition comment
--------------------------
You can define a default comment when a transition is triggered, this comment will fill the State Transition dialog each time you click on state, ofcourse this comment can be changed in the dialog

Default View Settings

In this section you can set default view options:

Default State Shape
-------------------
Here you can select the dafault state shape for all workflows, there are actually 14 different shapes plus the ``Automatic`` option which will define a shape according to state actions and/or conditions.
For more details about shapes and automatic shape selection see :ref:`Available State Shapes`

Enable debug mode
-----------------
When enabled, a button will be added in client tab to show or hide the debug window.
The debug window can be helpful to:

1. Log any errors which may not let the graph draws well
2. Shows workflow and state IDs with aliasses on state tooltip
3. Logs some useful informations which may be sent for technical support
