Day 1: Full Group Session
Rob kicks off CMPROficiency+ with an overview of the New
CMPRO Desktop and resumes after lunch with the following
Process Workflow Engine (PWE) and Contract topics:
• Official Numbering Formats
• Auto Action Items
• SQL Conditions
• Reopening Checklists
• Contract Events
Day 2:
Rob begins the second day of training in Room 1 with the
CMPRO Desktop training course. This course teaches how to
navigate through CMPRO using the new desktop that will be
released later this summer. This is a continuation of the Full
Group Session’s overview.
Rob moves into Room 2 for the two afternoon courses:
PWE and Official Numbers will be a detailed discussion and
demonstration of how official numbers work with the Process
Workflow Engine (PWE). Attendees should expect to learn how
official numbering functions; and how to configure it on a PWE
route for both workflow forms and repository records.
Rob suggests attendees have at least a basic understanding how
PWE routing works to get the most out of this course.
Using Checklists with PWE Workflow Forms will explain how
checklists work with forms routed using the Process Workflow
Engine (PWE). Attendees should expect to learn how checklist
templates and checklists are created and managed, and how
they affect routed forms.
Tip from Rob: “You don't need to be an admin to get something
out of this, although it might feel like it. If you're not an admin,
pay attention to how checklists can enhance process automation
and enforcement and you'll come away with some good ideas.”
Day 3:
The last day of training, Rob teaches a two part series on
PWE and SQL Conditions.
SQL conditions are used with various features connected
with forms routed using the Process Workflow Engine
(PWE). Attendees should expect to learn a little bit
about SQL (Structured Query Language), and how to use
it to configure applicable PWE step-level features.
TIP from Rob: “You'll get the most out of this class if
you're an admin, or a user with the ability to admin
routes (some experience would be good). If you're not an
admin, listen for how using SQL conditions can enhance
process automation/enforcement, and you'll likely come
away with some new ideas.”

said, “My goal in Using Workflow Forms is to explain all the things you
can do with a workflow document, starting with what you would do
when a workflow document is assigned to you.”
In Using the Document Repository course, expect Kerry to answer these
important questions:
What can the document repository do for you?
Why would you want to use the document repository in the first place?
How can you use the document repository for workflow forms versus
non-workflow forms in CMPRO?
What level of CMPRO users benefit from using the document repository?
