Viewing a work area workflow

The current status of a work area indicates where the documents contained in the work area are within the overall process that the work area represents. The status also determines what the next possible actions are for all of the documents contained in the work area, if any. If a work area has reached an end state in its workflow, no further routing is possible and the work area is inactive.

A work area’s workflow can be edited after it has been created in order to adapt the work area to different business requirements.
