Process authors start and design a process, which starts the flow of work specified in a process definition. The process might include defining each activity in the flow of work, determining the order (parallel or sequential) that the activity is performed, deciding who can participate at each step, and determining what information is required to complete the step. Processes are designed to manage specific documents in your object store and you can start a process directly from a document.
You can specify a parallel or sequential order in which the flow of work is performed. In a parallel order, all reviewers receive the task at the same time. In a sequential order, reviewers receive their task in a specific order, where one reviewer will not receive the task until the previous reviewer completes the task.
