#REDIRECT [[Workflows Overview]]
 
 
[[SmartSimple]]'s software can be configured for work flow automation based on your existing processes.
 
 
 
You can create and apply a [[Workflow|workflow]] to [[Applications|applications]], or other types of objects such as folders, companies, and people.
 
 
 
For example, a specific [[Smart Folder]] or group of contacts may require a specific approval process associated with a specific [[Role|role]] or person.
 
 
 
The people that you can associate with actions can be within the company or [[External|external]] to the company.
 
 
 
==Action Objects==
 
 
 
The following objects can be associated with a [[Workflow|workflow]].
 
 
 
* '''People and Companies''' – you can create custom [[Workflow|workflows]] around these objects.  For example: a new employee [[Workflow|workflow]] or a prospect [[Workflow|workflow]].
 
* '''Applications''' – [[Sales Tracking]], [[Applicant Tracking]], [[Web Form|Web Forms]], [[Universal Tracking Application]].
 
* '''Smart Folders''' – any type of file can be stored in the [[Smart Folder]] to provide global access from any location.
 
 
 
==Action Lists==
 
 
 
There are two action item lists called [[Workflow Requests]]:
 
 
 
* '''Requests to others''' – actions or reviews that you have requested other people to complete.  This list is automatically generated from the [[Workflow|workflows]] associated with [[SmartSimple]] objects and [[Applications|applications]].
 
* '''Requests to me''' – actions or review activities that other people require you to complete.  This list is automatically generated from the [[Workflow|workflows]] associated with [[SmartSimple]] objects.
 
 
 
[[Workflow|Workflows]] are logical representations of business procedures. 
 
 
 
Some common examples of [[Workflow|workflow]] driven processes are:
 
 
 
* '''Project Management''' – request for actions based on project status.
 
* '''Documentation Workflow''' – the steps required to create, edit, and finally get a document approved.
 
* '''Follow up Workflow''' – remind someone to contact a new client after a pre-determined length of time.
 
* '''Problem Solving Workflow''' – the steps required to process problems and associated escalation procedures.
 
 
 
 
 
==Note==
 
* Activities that are completed by users that are not logged into the system (such as anonymous [[Web Forms]]) will not trigger [[Workflow]]s for security reasons.
