Overview of Workflow Policy Objects

A Workflow Policy object provides the context in which Workflow Policies operate. The Workflow Policy object defines the set of tables and columns that a Workflow Policy monitors and how each table in the Workflow Policy object relates to the other tables. This collection of columns and the relations between the tables of the Workflow Policy object represent the entity in the Siebel Repository that you must monitor.

The settings in the Siebel Repository allow you to access predefined Workflow Policy objects for common business requirements, such as opportunities, service requests, or contacts. You can modify some predefined Workflow Policy objects through administrative screens in the Siebel client. To define a custom Workflow Policy object, you can make changes to the Siebel Repository.
