Workflow Basics

You define your transaction workflow using the Processes feature of OCI Process Automation.

You can incorporate workflow processing for all Oracle Permitting and Licensing offerings, but structured workflow processes apply specifically to these offerings:

• Permits

• Planning and Zoning

• Business Licenses

For Permits, Planning and Zoning, and Business Licenses, you define structured processes to run your workflow. For more information on structured processes, see Develop Structured Processes.

Code Enforcement implements workflow using a different process definition type, which is covered in a separate chapter. See Dynamic Workflow Overview for more information on Code Enforcement workflow.

Note: Oracle provides a Solution Package with sample workflow configurations. It is highly recommended that you clone these samples and use them as starting points to create your own workflow.

Note: Currently, in the context of data object parameters, data association parameters, and REST resource attributes, the terms record, transaction,permit, planning application, and business license are interchangeable.
