8. Analyze the each workflow step and each of the associated transitions to determine which transitions we want the Root Cause Analysis plugin to manage data.

   Start

   Step Name	Transition	Track Data for Resolver	Track Data for Closer	Reasoning
   To Do	To Do			When in the To Do status and the To Do	transition is triggered, the user has not changed the status of the issue, so we don't care to track anything from this specific transition.
   "	In Progress			When in the To Do status and the Start In Progress transition is triggered, the user is just starting work so we don't care to track anything from this specific transition for Root Cause Analysis plugin purposes.
   ''	DoneIn Review			When in the To Do status and the Done In Review transition is triggered, the user performing the action is both marking the issue as change complete and verification complete. The Root Cause Analysis plugin will want to gather information from this status transition for both just the Resolver and the Closerat this time.
   ''"	Start ReviewDone			When in the To Do status and the Start Review Done transition is triggered, the user performing the action is both marking the issue as change complete and verification complete. The Root Cause Analysis plugin will want to gather information from this status transition for just the Resolver at this time.	In Progress	Start both the Resolver and the Closer.

9. Based on the analysis above, we will need to add workflow post functions to five different transitions. Moving down the list from the top, lets add our post functions to the Done transition within the To Do step.

10. Click on the Done link in the To Do row under the Transitions column.

13. Select Root Cause Analysis Resolver Saver and click Add
    
    
14. The next screen is a generic configuration screen for post functions. There are no configurable options for the two Root Cause Analysis Post Functions. Click the Add button.
    
    
    
    
15. You will now see the new post function appear at the top of the list of existing post functions for the transition.

16. Repeat steps #12 through #15 to add the Root Cause Analysis Closer Saver post function to this transition.
    
    
17. Click the RCT: Software Development Simplified Workflow for Project RCT (Draft) link (near the center centre of the page, and will differ depending on the name of your workflow) to go back to the workflow table.
    
    
18. Repeat steps above (from #10) for each of the other four status transitions determined from our analysis in the table above:
    
    
    1. Click on the Start In Review link in the To Do row under the Transitions column. Only add the Root Cause Analysis Resolver Saver post function.
    2. Click on the Start In Review link in the In Progress row under the Transitions column. Only add the Root Cause Analysis Resolver Saver post function.
    3. Click on the Done link in the In Progress row under the Transitions column. Add both the Root Cause Analysis Resolver Saver and the Root Cause Analysis Closer Saver post functions.
    4. Click on the Done link in the In Review row under the Transitions column. Only add the Root Cause Analysis Closer Saver post function.
       
       
19. In order to save the changes you have made to the workflow. Click on the Publish Draft button. You can review the workflow first to ensure everything is correct before publishing.
    
    
    
    
20. You will be prompted to save a backup copy of the original workflow before your changes. Do so if you wish.
