Workflows

What are Workflows? They consist on grouping and ordering all the steps to follow when carrying out an activity within the company.

These Workflows are nothing more than standardization in the accomplishment of the tasks, in this way it will always be clear what is what we have to do and what is the next step that has to be given. Process Flows allows us to assign tasks and documents to the appropriate users, ensuring that the work is carried out in accordance with the steps defined and complying with the deadlines established for each activity.

Workflow automation provides easy access to your users from their lists of pending and completed tasks, thus guaranteeing the distribution and effective execution of each assigned activity.

How can we improve Workflows? Making each element that participates in the flow execute its tasks effectively and efficiently.

The elements in a Workflow are:

• Chores.
• People.
• Routes.
• Documents or Forms.
• Deadlines.
• Processes

Process flows can be:

• Sequential workflows: are a sequence of steps that are executed in order until completing the last activity and these can be linear or parallel.
• Team workflows: are a set of states transitions and actions where two (2) or more people participate to achieve the fulfillment of the activity.
