This How-to Process Builder
This article will cover creating a standardized process in your Prevail system. the difference between a standard process and an autofill process as well as how to create each of these.
A "standard" process is one that allows you to work through a series of steps that do not all revolve around the same date.
For example, the Social Security process that ships with Prevail is a "standard" process. The statute dates that apply to each step are calculated based on when the previous step took place. For instance, in Social Security disability cases, the statute date for filing a Request for Hearing will depend on when the Request for Reconsideration was denied; later, in the same claim, the statute date for filing a Request for Review at the Appeals Council depends on the date the hearing was denied.
...
You use an auto-fill process when all of the steps in your process center around one specific date (the "anchor date" in Prevail terminology).
