Workflow is often used in conjunction with Electronic Forms (E-Forms), which can be used for request processes that require one or more levels of verification. For example, a Human Resources department's vacation request process may require that one or more managers sign a vacation request before it is approved. The OnBase Digital Signature module can be used in conjunction with Workflow and E-Forms to provide a means for electronically signing documents.
Example applications for E-Forms include:
-
Requests for Purchase Orders
-
Departmental work requests. For example, an “Information Systems Request” can be filled out by a user who needs assistance from the organization's IS department. When the E-Form is submitted, an employee is notified. The request can be assigned a status, enabling the originator to check on the progress of the request at any time.
