Workflow

Workflow enables communication from an application to a user.

For example, it presents a document for approval or prompts the user to perform a task using a particular screen of an application.

A workflow is a sequence of steps that completes a business goal. These are examples of workflows:

An approval flow which can be a sequence of approval requests to several approvers
A review flow which can be a set of parallel tasks that is sent to multiple users to review the same document

The workflow steps can be performed by various users, based on the distribution rules for each step.

Workflow in ION provides functionality to define a workflow using a graphical modeler to create a diagram in a BPMN notation. The workflow definitions can immediately be activated in the workflow engine.

Tasks that are generated by Workflow in ION are displayed in the user's Infor Ming.le page, the Infor Inbox application and the Task List widget. Workflow execution waits for user action before continuing execution. You can view the workflow diagram in Workflow Viewer widget, with a graphical indication of the workflow progress.
