!!!Define User Procedure
A [procedure|PROCEDURES] is a type of user definable function that links together two or more system functions into a business procedure or workflow. 
Procedures may be used to enforce a work flow. That is, users can be stepped through the various screens and report functions that are required to complete a task. 
Typically, complex processes like enrolling employees into benefit plans, multiple record changes like getting married, or post-hire processes are good candidates for definition as a procedure. 
The procedure form is divided into two parts: a "header" component that defines general aspects of the procedure and the "procedure steps" component that defines the individual functions that make up the procedure.

The step information has some overflow information below.\\ \\
