Workflow Technology

Workflow enables collaboration between applications, organizations, and people. PeopleSoft Workflow enables you to:

• Automate paper-based business processes.

• Increase collaboration between employees, customers, and suppliers.

• Integrate your system according to business processes.

The main elements of PeopleSoft Workflow include:

• Business process definitions, which reflect the business process—from beginning to end.

• Activities, which are a set of logically ordered steps in a process.

• Worklists, which are the automated “to-do” lists.

• Rules, which determine the activities that are required to process your business data.

• Roles, which describe how people fit into the workflow.

• Routings, which specify where information goes and what form it takes (email message or worklist entry).
