Configurable stages assist in defining workflow actions based on the activation and completion of workflow stages.
Some of the activities that may be ensured using configurable workflow stages are:
•Activation of one Workflow after the completion of any defined Workflow stage.
•Updating the life cycle status of a document when it reaches a particular stage.
•Defining a delay (Timer) for each stage.
A configurable stage includes a Timer stage, Application stage, Logical stage, Replication stage, Gate stage and an Activation stage.
