# Update the credentialing cycle on a facility workflow

`PATCH /facility-credentialing-workflows/{workflowId}/credentialing-cycle`

Sets the credentialing cycle for the specified facility credentialing workflow. Valid values are `INITIAL` (the facility's first credentialing) and `RECREDENTIALING` (a subsequent periodic review). **When to use:** Set to `INITIAL` when the facility is being credentialed for the first time; change to `RECREDENTIALING` when the workflow represents a renewal cycle. **Side effects:** **Idempotency:** Setting the same cycle value again is a no-op. **Returns:** `200 OK`.
