This second video demonstrates and explains in detail how the purchasing application was developed, highlighting how child documents are managed and controlled.
True Parallel Workflow
Description
Finally a solution providing true parallel workflow where a document can follow multiple channels independently.
Creating a workflow
Description
Presents a general walk-through of a sample (simple) workflow application to be created.
Creating a workflow
Description
Creates a simple two-state process application “from scratch” where the workflow documents are assigned references and users.
Creating a workflow
Description
Renders the entire process operational with both historical descriptions and email notifications.
Creating a workflow
Description
Completes the fully functional Notes/web/mobile application with field controls (including both comments and general data).
Process: Document Routing
Section 2 - v7.1
These videos are designed to be used in conjunction with the developer's guide and applications (WAApplicatonA.nsf and WAApplicationB.nsf) provided here. The videos demonstrate what the various mechanisms look like in operation to the end-user while the applications provide hands-on experience in using them. The guide illustrates (in most cases graphically) the components which make up those mechanisms and (hopefully) serves as an ongoing reference in developing workflow applications.

Navigating the interface
Description
A quick look at getting around Workflow Ascendant.
Simple document routing
Description
Simple Document Routing is when there is only one next state defined from the current state.
Manual document routing
Description
Manual Document Routing indicates that the user is a given a choice as to where to advance the document.
Automatic document routing
Description
Automatic Routing advances a document in the workflow according to a set of predefined rules.
Manual & automatic document routing
Description
Manual and automatic rules can be combined in the same state.
Selective Operations
Description
Different constraints (discussed in Chapter 3) can be combined within the same state.
Parallel operations
Description
There are times in a process where multiple individuals from different groups must intervene in a given state before the document can be advanced.
Inclusive operations
Description
There are times in a process where multiple individuals from the same group must intervene in a given state before the document can be advanced.
Parallel & inclusive Operations
Description
Parallel Operations and Inclusive Operations can be defined in the same state and even in the same rule.
Extended Parallel Operations
Description
Extended States “extend” the scope of a state to provide true parallel workflow where a document can follow multiple channels independently.
Extended Sequential Operations
Description
Extended Sequential Operations refer to the ability to “fuse” two states together where the rules of the second (“virtual”) state are executed immediately.
Child Documents
Description
Integrated (multi-level) management of child documents created from parent documents.
Email Notifications
Description
Personalized email notifications to be sent when a document is advanced in the workflow.
Actions
Description
The Actions tab in the State document contains definitions to automatically set fields in the workflow document.
Historical Text
Description
The History tab of each workflow document details each intervention along with the number of days the document has remained with that user.
Document References
Description
Workflow Ascendant provides for the automatic allocation of unique and sequential references to workflow documents.
Triggers
Description
Trigger documents allow you to automatically send email reminders, display alerts and/or reroute workflow documents based on elapsed time and/or a set of conditions.
