Workflow

Workflow in ION is used to model and run business processes such as authorizations, work distribution, or task-driven workflows across several components.

For authorizations, you can use an approval workflow to approve a purchase order or to sign off a new item. Such workflows are triggered by the creation of a new item or the submission of a new order.

In the area of work distribution, the workflow ensures that all tasks for a certain event are being distributed and executed by different users. The advantage of using the Workflow is that you can model how these tasks are performed, for example sequential or in parallel.
