# Item driven workflow

The Sovelia Template has two preset methods to manage the engineering workflow. The workflow can be ***item driven*** or managed using the ***Engineering change order (ECO)***. This can be setup in the administration. The item review process is not part of the ECO process and is always item driven.

The item driven workflow is controlled by fields on the item. Sovelia notifications alert relevant parties, and email notifications can be enabled if needed. Lists are available on the ***Items*** dashboard for users to manage their tasks.

The **Designer** field defines who is responsible for the design work.

A graph shows the designer how many items are at status ***In Design*** and also the items already sent for ***Design Review***. The items can be accessed by clicking the graph.
