  44. 6. Create Promotion Request Workflows • The following Workflows will remain the same until we have joint CDC & FAA acceptance of them: • 1-Production • 2-APR • 6-Document CDC Approved • 7-Document FAA Approved • Make a copy of the “Promotion Request Approval Process” workflow and name accordingly.

  45. Create Object Initialization Rules
