A document management workflow is a system designed to track, edit, store and manage documents that are associated with a business process. A manual workflow would require a user to view a document before deciding who to send it on to next. A rules-based workflow enables an administrator to create a rule that automatically dictates how a document will flow through an organisation. Rules can be created for each step of a document’s lifecycle to determine how data contained within each workflow is processed, tracked, routed and controlled.
