Ad Hoc Workflow - Generic

The Ad Hoc model illustrates ad hoc workflow in which a generic task, such as an order or an instruction, is assigned to multiple reviewers for review and approval. In addition, reviews can be assigned serially, in which the review task proceeds from one user to the next until it is complete, or in parallel, in which case all reviewers are assigned and carry out their tasks simultaneously. The workflow model provides the parameters for the routing, but each process initiator has the ability to choose the participants and routing method for each individual instance of the workflow.

The business benefits from this Ad Model include:

• Flexible user-defined ad-hoc workflow that can be applied to numerous situations
• Enables real time tracking of a task’s status
• Provides audit trail for compliance purposes
