Types of Workflows
You can create different types of workflows to match your business requirements and the conditions for which you want to be alerted.
These are the standard workflows:
Workflow type | Purpose |
---|---|
User initiated | These workflows are triggered when a user adds, changes, or deletes a record or a portion of a record. |
Scheduled | These workflows are database queries that run at regular intervals via the process server. They are triggered when user-defined conditions are met. |
Approval | These workflows identify the steps, approvers, and alerts for approving certain items, such as timesheets and expense reports. |
Web services | These workflows are created by your organization and triggered when a user saves, approves, or routes a record. |
Application | These workflows use a stored procedure or send a webhook action to run before an established Vantagepoint process or transaction. |
You can create workflows for both standard and user-defined fields and grids.
