The Document Workflow Diagram
Here is a the document workflow diagram based on our business process. It doesn't map exactly to our business process diagram, because In it, we want to represent the state of :
- The path that the Request Firewall Change document
...
- must take in order to yield a successful lifecycle. This is the route path.
- The various steps in the route path. Each step is called a route node.
- The responsible party or parties who take action on each node. These are either persons, workgroups, or roles.
- The rule scheme applied to each node. These schemes are comprised of rule templates, rule attributes and rules.
Let's lay down a few ground rules about the notation:
- The Request element is the first route node (aka Start Nodestart node) in the workflow's route path. This is where the Request Firewall Change document is first created.
- Each violet element represents a subsequent node in the route path. Each node represents a point in the business process where a responsible party is viewing (and possibly editing) the Request Firewall Change docuement.
- Each lavender parallelogram represents a rule template that is applied to each node. Each rule template can be associated with a set of rules.
- The orange skittle represents a split in the workflow. If the request is URGENT, the workflow branches out one way. If not, it branches out the other way.
- The lime skittle represents a join in the workflow. No matter which way the workflow branched, it will end up at this point.
- The green Finish element means the workflow has ended with flying colors.
- The red Acknowledge and Finish elements mean that somewhere in the workflow there was a disapproval. Therefore the entire workflow stops. Out of the box, eDocLite routes the disapproved request back to the Requester for acknowledgment.
