Press '''"Start"''' on the opened job page to lunch the workflow, and the assigned vendor will receive the corresponding notification:

Then every next job in the chain will be launched automatically after the completion of the previous one, without any action of the project manager:

The output files of the previous job will be automatically transferred to the input files of the next job in the chain.
