Creating a workflow application
Workflow applications let you automate tasks. These tasks most often involve automatically sending mail messages or automatically routing documents, such as tracking orders and project plans to be reviewed. All projects need one or more people to complete a series of tasks and can benefit from workflow applications because they guide the project through these tasks automatically. Workflow applications reduce overhead and errors, speed processes, and track the status of a project. For example, a workflow application might automatically send a document in a publishing company from writer to editor to proofreader to production. At each stage, an individual is responsible for specific tasks related to that document. Once the task is complete, the workflow application ensures that the individuals responsible for the next task are notified and receive the data they need to execute their part of the project.
Mailing features and Web applications
Web users whose mail databases reside on a Domino® server can participate in mailing processes. When you are designing forms or views, include form or view actions as alternatives to menus for tasks Web users need to do. For example, you can create a "Send Document" action so that it appears on the action bar of a form both in Notes® and on the Web.
