Launching a workflow begins the process specified in the
workflow definition.
To launch a workflow, a user must have appropriate access
rights:
- The user must have Create access to the workflow roster.
- For Workplace, the user must have View Properties
access to the workflow definition file or document that is used to
launch the workflow.
- For FileNet® P8 Web
Services or Open Client, the user must have Viewer access to the workflow
definition file or document that is used to launch the workflow.
Any user with access rights can launch a workflow in one of
the following ways:
- Manually launch from a workflow definition file or from a document
by selecting the file and clicking the Launch command.
- Launch from Process Designer, such as adding or saving a document
belonging to a particular document class.
