What is a workflow?

In Polydojo, a workflow refers to a logical sequence of stages, with stage corresponding to a form.

For instance, consider a simple Purchase Process, as outlined in the following table:

#
Stage
Description
1
Purchase Request Form
Filled by the request-making employee, i.e. requester.
2
Purchase Approval Form
Filled by the requester's manager, to approve/reject request.
3
Purchase Processing Form
If approved, filled by an employee in Purchase department.
4
Requester Intimation Form
Filled by requester, acknowledging approval/rejection.

Note: Stage 3: Purchase Processing Form would be applicable only if the manager approves the request. Otherwise, the workflow would jump to Stage 4: Requester Intimation Form, informing the requester that the was rejected.
