■ Flexibility — you can change an existing workflow or create a new one
in order to stay in line with changing business needs
■ Business process improvement — focus on business processes leads
to their streamlining and simplification
In Buzzsaw, workflow refers to the process by which administrators define the
parameters that determine how a form is processed. That is, which members
can create, respond, view, and discuss the form. The workflow can be defined
by roles or by events.
When you configure a business process you are setting options that apply to
all the forms within that log. If you want a form with a different configuration
then you need to create a different business process. For example: you want
a correspondence log for ten members in the project but you want the
correspondence among three of those members to be private. To accomplish
this, you would have to create one log for all ten members, and a second log
for the three members.
Members can only add new form types to a log that has been created for that
form type. For example, you can not add an RFI form until an RFI log is
configured.
