Workflow Action

Motivation

The user has created workflows on various transactions like leaves, purchase orders etc. There may be multiple users who need to approve and there are multiple stages of approval. The goal is to facilitate communication to the users via email and also create a list of pending actions.

Workflows are assigned to roles and they may be separated by user permissions.

The design involves creating a new document "Pending Workflow Action" that can be created for each user that is involved in the workflow step. A list view of pending actions will also be useful for approving in case the user needs to approve multiple actions.

Tasks
