Webcast January series : 23'Jan and 24'Jan 2012
From scheduling a meeting to getting reviews and feedback, every operation at your workplace relies on certain processes and functions.
The workflow feature in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 enables solution architects, designers, and administrators to improve business processes. Fundamentally, a workflow consists of two things: the forms that a workflow uses to interact with its users and the logic that defines the workflow’s behaviour. Understanding how workflows are created requires knowledge about both. Examples of business processes that could be facilitated by workflows: - Contract approval to guide a proposed contract among team members to approve or reject it
- Expense reporting to manage the submission of a report and associated receipts to review, approve and reimburse
- Technical support to help teams see how incidents are opened, reviewed and added to the knowledge base
- Managing the process of interviewing a job candidate including scheduling, tracking appointments, collecting feedback and make it available to subsequent interviewers
- Managing the approval of the publication of content on the Internet presence site of an enterprise
