A workflow process can use the following objects:

1. Workflow Events. The following items can start a workflow process:
   • A run-time event
   • a workflow policy

2. Workflow rules. A workflow decision rule is a rule that determines the flow in a workflow process. It can reference business component data or a local variable in the workflow process. You can use the Siebel Query Language to define a rule. For more information, see Determining the Decision Logic That the Workflow Process Uses.
3. Workflow actions. A workflow action is an action in a workflow process that can use data as input, modify or examine data, or product data as output. A workflow action can perform an operation on a database record or call a business service. For more information, see Determining the Actions the Workflow Process Must Perform.
