This happens when the business configurator has enabled agent input for that step. The configuration dialog appears when you add the Workflow to the session. Depending on what the BC has enabled, you may be able to: - Choose which documents from the predefined list to request - Add custom document types not in the predefined list - Add or edit descriptions to help the customer understand what each document should be - Set the minimum number of documents the customer must upload - Exclude the step entirely if no documents are needed If none of these options have been enabled for a step, no dialog appears — the step is sent to the customer exactly as configured in the Workflow. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/2026-06-24_11-01-47.png) --- ## Configuring a Document Request step When you add a Workflow to a session, you may see all or some of the options below. Review and configure the step, then click **Send** to add the Workflow to the session. --- ### 1. Include or exclude the step If the step can be excluded, a toggle appears next to the step name. By default the toggle is on, meaning the step will be included. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/image(474).png) To exclude the step, turn the toggle **off**. The customer will not see the step and the Workflow will continue to the next step automatically. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/image(475).png) --- ### 2. Select the documents to request The list shows all documents configured for this step. Select the documents relevant to this customer and deselect any that are not needed. If your BC has provided instructions for this step, they appear at the top of the card — read these before making your selections. - To select all documents at once, click **Select all**. - To clear all selections, click **Deselect all**. > [!NOTE] > **Note** > > You must select at least one document. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/2026-06-24_11-01-47(2).png) --- ### 3. Add a custom request If the BC has enabled custom documents for this step, you can add a document type that is not in the predefined list. 1. Scroll to the bottom of the document list and click **Add custom document**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/2026-06-24_11-42-03.png) The **Custom document 1** settings appear. 2. Enter the document name and an optional description. 3. To add more documents click **Add custom document**. 4. Click **Send** to send the Workflow. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/2026-06-24_12-03-46.png) The custom document is added to the list and will be requested from the customer alongside the predefined documents. --- ### 4. Set the minimum number of required documents The **Min required** dropdown controls how many documents the customer must upload before they can proceed. The default is set by the BC. - To require fewer documents, open the **Min required** dropdown and select a lower number. - To make the step optional, set **Min required** to **0**. The message *Documents are optional for this step* confirms that the customer can proceed without uploading anything. > [!NOTE] > **Note** > > The number of selected documents must be equal to or greater than the **Min required** value. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/image(480).png) --- ### 5. Add a description to a document (optional) You can add a short description to any document to give the customer more context about what is required. For example, if you are requesting a bank statement, you could add: *Please upload the last 3 months of statements.* 1. Hover over a document name and click the icon. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/image(481).png) The Edit dialog appears. 2. Enter the description and click **Done**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/image(482).png) The description appears under the document name in the list. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/2026-06-24_12-33-37.png) --- When you have finished configuring the step, click **Send** to add the Workflow to the session. A series of customer interactions that must be completed in a certain order. Workflows are configured by a business configurator (BC) and added to the session by an agent or API. An interaction in a Lightico session that enables customers to provide supporting documentation by uploading a file or scanning the document using a mobile device. A Lightico user with a business configurator or BC role configures elements of the Lightico journey in the Admin Center pages. A user that communicates with end-customers to complete tasks in a Collaboration Room session or a Case Manager case.
