ACS Documentation : Workflow


The workflow package provides infrastructure to coordinate the work of multiple persons working on the same project.

Installation
The few little things the installer doesn't automatically do for you.
Overview
Why should I care about workflow? Business managers and developers will find the answer here.

Concepts: Guide    |   Reference
Is the starting point. It explains what the workflow package does and provides the knowledge necessary to formalize workflow processes using this package.

Advanced Workflow Builder's Guide (missing)
A guide for those formally defining a workflow process. This is necessary to do in order to take advantage of the workflow package. This is for building advanced workflows where you'll need (and want) know how the engine operates.

Developer's Guide
Contains information for developers on how to build applications that deploy the workflow package.

Concepts Reference
The other one was a guide, this is the reference. Is for the readers already familiar with the concepts, but who wishes to quickly look up a specific term. It's organized alphabetically and conceptually, instead of pedagogically.

Maintainer's Guide (in progress)
Contains information on the internals of this package for developers wanting to extend or maintain the workflow package itself.

Requirements Document
The requirements specification for the Workflow package.

Design Document
The design document for the Workflow package.

Future Plans
The enhancements to come.
