Module Builder: Workflow Settings
Overview
The Module Builder: Workflow Settings are module-specific settings that let you control how navigation impacts the modules in your workflow.

In most cases, end-users are the customers using the product. moves from one module to the next. Use this feature to trigger logic components, like Initializer and Decisions components, when:
- Your end-user clicks the Next button.
- Unqork validates submission data Also known as Record Data. Submission data consists of information saved by Unqork components. View submission data by using the angular command, or in Record Collections..
- Workflow saves on navigation.
For example, let's say you want submission IDs saved to an external database when your end-user submits data. You could configure a Plug-In component that sends the submission IDs to the external database. Then, you could set that Plug-In component to trigger when your workflow saves on navigation.
