Part 4 - Introduction to Workflow Modeler

---

What is a Workflow Modeler?
A Interwoven workfllow modeling tool that allows user to:

• Create workflow model and validate it
• Create tasks
• Draw transitions between tasks
• Deploy workflow model to TS server

System Requirements

• Windows 2000/XP/2003

Using the Workflow Modeler

The steps required to begin using the Workflow Modeler are as follows:

1. Implement a methodology to design a workflow model (analyse requirement, risk, etc..)
2. Identify the workflow elements discovered during step 1. The elements are: i)workareas ii)files iii)jobs iv) tasks v) transitions vi) variables
3. Design a workflow diagram based on step 2.
4. Implement the design from step 3 using Workflow Modeler
5. Test and debug the workflow
6. Deploy to TS server
