Model the Document Workflow

...

  • 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:

Element

Ground Rule

Request

The first route node, a.k.a. the start node, in the workflow's route path. This is where the Request Firewall Change document is created by an initiator.

Violet Element

A 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 document.

Lavender Parallelogram

A rule template that is applied to each node. Each rule template is associated with a set of rules and rule attributes.

Orange Element

A rule attribute associated with a rule template.

Lime Rectangle

The responsible party or parties who take action on a node.

Red Arrow

The action that must be taken to get from one node to the next node.

Blue Join Line

When connected to a rule attribute, it represents a rule that evaluates that rule attribute

Finish

Means the workflow has completed with flying colors.
