Part of your work might include automating the flow of work to complete a structured business process from within an integrated Office application. Examples of automated processes might include the following tasks:
Multi-step processes, such as the tasks listed above, center on the routing of documents and information, with each step completed by the appropriate reviewer. An individual process automates the routing and processing of a particular type of document, or set of documents, for a specific business process. Within a process, different users perform various activities based on how the process was defined.
You can start and design a process from within an integrated Office application. Reviewers assigned to complete the task for a process also perform their tasks from within an integrated Office application or from Workplace XT. However, when you review a process in parallel order from outside of an integrated Office application, you might not be able to see all of the history information for the process. The tasks that are displayed from within an integrated Office application do not include processes launched by other FileNet P8 applications.
