Primary Components
The primary components are:
- Workflow Designer: The component you will interact with the most. This component is where you build and publish your workflow definitions.
- Workflow Server: The component that runs workflows. The Workflow Server receives notification from the Workflow Subscriber when a change is made to a Laserfiche entry that satisfies a starting rule or wait condition. See Choosing a Workflow Server.
- Workflow Subscriber: This component acts as a link between the Workflow Server and the Laserfiche Server. The Workflow Subscriber receives notification from a Laserfiche Server when a change is made to a Laserfiche entry. It evaluates the event to determine if a starting rule or wait condition is satisfied. If so, the Workflow Subscriber notifies the Workflow Server.
- Workflow Web: A website that allows you to view Workflow definitions and search for workflow instances. This component is a lightweight alternative to the Workflow Designer if you only need to view workflow information.
Note: Workflow Web Designer has been retired and is no longer available In Workflow 11.0.1 and later.
