Workflow Engine
A workflow is the computerized facilitation or automation of the steps in a business process, in whole or part. For example, an
InSight Rendering workflow for the business process of rendering a document may include the following steps:
- Retrieving a document
- Rendering a document
- Distributing the document back to a Document Management System (DMS)
In the workflow, the business process is represented as XML. This XML representation is called a job ticket. In an XML job ticket file, the parent node is the workflow and the child nodes are the business service steps of the workflow. You can customize your own XML job ticket with specific business services.
