# What is Workflow Category?

## When configuring a new Workflow, you must indicate the category that will determine its operating mechanics and accompanying content.

### You can choose from the following options:

- Talent & Onboarding
- Learning & Development
- Microlearning
- Offboarding

![](https://academy.gamfi.io/image/workflows/page/db675f3a484e206b_Zrzutekranu2026-04-13o14.18.03.png)Choosing the right category affects the content that appears in the Panel and the User Portal. Each Action placed in the Workflow is executed according to the pre-set execution time and date (learn more 👉🏻 [**here**](https://gamfi.support/help/how-to-set-the-conditions-for-adding-the-action-to-the-process?hsLang=en)).

#### Depending on the selected Workflow category, the date against which the Actions are set will change:

- **Talent & Onboarding** - the first day of work
- **Learning & Development** - a key date (e.g., the day the position started or the actual start of the Learning Process)
- **Microlearning** - start off learning course;
- **Offboarding** - the last day at work

### You can additionally tag categories with labels that appear next to the Workflow tab in the list of all paths:

#### **➡️  Talent & Onboarding CATEGORY:**

Workflow created with pre-boarding, onboarding, role changes, on-the-job implementations and effective employee reboarding in mind.

#### **➡️  Learning & Development CATEGORY:**

Workflow created with employee development in mind, improving their competences and expanding their knowledge.

☝🏻 Did you notice the "Add to Promoted" tag in the image above? The "Learning & Development" workflow category allows you to build a training course or even an entire training process in Gamfi People Platform —just like the one you're currently participating in. You can read more about this in the "Creating a New Workflow" task.

#### **➡️ Microlearning CATEGORY:**

Workflows designed for short, sequential learning activities and quick messages. Actions are launched immediately upon startup.

![](https://academy.gamfi.io/image/workflows/page/10bf086a3edfe4bc_Zrzutekranu2026-04-13o13.50.56.png)

#### **➡️ Offboarding CATEGORY:**

Workflow created with smooth offboarding, safe handover of responsibilities, and efficient termination of collaboration in mind.

You can change the category at any time in the Workflow settings.
