Introduction

Each step of the workflow process is referred to as a work node. A work node can be either a work basket or a collection point. A work basket is more than just a virtual basket that has a pile of work stacked in it. A collection point is a special work node that waits for external documents to be collected in a folder; but it does not correspond to a business task. It merely collects required documents and sends them to another work node when it either completes a folder, or the time allotted to wait for the documents has expired. Document routing moves documents or folders from one work node to another. This tutorial walks you through these steps.
