Introduction to Workflow Processes


A Workflow Process uses:

  • Attributes equivalent to Fields
  • Tables
  • Resources for example: database, email, or RESTful resources
  • Nodes are a single step in the process; the types of node include:
    • Start Node the beginning of the Workflow Process.
    • End Node  the end of the Workflow Process.
    • Interactive Task Node represents a form to be completed by a user.  
    • System Task Node represents automatic tasks.
    • Decision Node determines the route of the next step depending on the logic provided.
    • Split Node represents a point where processes can be executed concurrently.
    • Subprocess Node  represents another process.
  • Links connects two nodes; the direction of the link shows the flow of the process.
  • Input and output parameters are used to pass data between the stages of the Workflow Process.
