Workflow
Is a set of actions that can be set to be performed automatically by the system against specific system modules such as Assets. Each Workflow is made up of a Starting Point and then one or more Actions. Workflows are a powerful way of automating low-level administrative tasks so removing pressures from staff to remember and find time to carry out actions. An example workflow could be : to send an email to the head of maintenance to inform them that the status of a piece of machinery has been changed to 'Not working'. The Starting Point would be the asset status change and the Action would be the sending of the email. A secondary action could then be to automatically raise an inspection job to investigate why the machine is no longer working.
