Working with <strong>Lotus</strong> Workflow<br />

About <strong>Lotus</strong> Workflow<br />

This chapter provides an overview of how <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> and <strong>Lotus</strong><br />

Workflow interact, and provides instructions for initiating workflow<br />

processes and viewing process status from <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong>. It contains the<br />

following sections:<br />

• About <strong>Lotus</strong> Workflow<br />

• About initiating workflow processes from <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong><br />

• Initiating interactive workflow processes from <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong><br />

• Viewing associated workflows from a browser<br />

• Viewing associated workflows from Notes<br />

<strong>Lotus</strong> Workflow is a Workflow Development and Management System for<br />

designing electronically driven processes like customer orders, design<br />

reviews, and expense reports. <strong>Lotus</strong> Workflow automates daily business<br />

processes and assists in coordinating tasks between workgroups. Business<br />

processes are modeled on the basis of the existing document flows, and are<br />

enhanced by the ability to flexibly modify them.<br />

<strong>Lotus</strong> Workflow extends the document management capabilities of<br />

<strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> by providing structured and ad hoc workflow processes.<br />

<strong>Lotus</strong> Workflow manages the workflow processes and <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> stores<br />

and manages the documents associated with the workflows.<br />

From within <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong>, you can initiate workflow processes, see what<br />

workflow processes (or jobs) are associated with particular documents, and<br />

view process activity in <strong>Lotus</strong> Workflow.<br />
