MOSS OOTB Workflows


From Eilene Hao

MOSS 2007 out-of-the-box workflows include:

Approval: Routes a document for approval. Approvers can approve or reject the document, reassign the approval task, or request changes to the document.

Collect Feedback: Routes a document for review. Reviewers can provide feedback, which is compiled and sent to the document owner when the workflow has completed.

Collect Signatures: Gathers signatures needed to complete an Office document. This workflow can be started only from within an Office client.

Disposition Approval: Manages document expiration and retention by allowing participants to decide whether to retain or delete expired documents.

Group Approval: Similar to the Approval workflow, but uses a designated document library and offers a personalized view of the approval process(es) in which a user is participating. This workflow provides a hierarchical organization chart from which to select the approvers and allows the approvers to use a stamp control instead of a signature. This solution was designed specifically for East Asian Markets.

Translation Management: Manages document translation by creating copies of the document to be translated and assigning translation tasks to translators.

Issue Tracking: Manages the issue tracking process by creating tasks for Active issues assigned to users who own to a given issue. When the task related to an issue is complete hence resolving the issue, the creator of the issue is assigned a review task so that the issue can be closed.
