# How do I rename and reorder payroll workflow actions?

By using the **Action Definition** button within **Payroll Workflow**, you rename an action and reorder the sequence in which it listed within the **Action** pane to suit your needs. This makes it easier for you to process the desired actions instead of scrolling through a list.

For more information about the **Payroll Workflow**, see the [Guide: Payroll workflow](/iq/docs/guide-payroll-workflow).

## To rename and reorder a workflow action

1. Navigate to the **Payroll Workflow** window. Go to **Cintra iQ**: Payroll > Payroll Tools > Payroll Workflow
2. Click the **Action Definition** button. The **Workflow Action Definitions** window appears.

3. Rename the **Display Name** of the desired action.
4. Change the number in the **Sequence** to the desired order.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** A message appears if there are duplicate numbers entered for the sequence. You will then need to search the Sequence column for the duplicate and renumber it.
5. Click the **OK** button. The action's **DisplayName** is changed in the **Action** pane and appears in designated place in the list.
6. Continue to run the **Action**.

> [!WARNING]
> **Remember:** actions can be re-ordered, and your report packs are included as actions, so you can order all of the actions you need to complete, in one block.
