What is a workflow engine?

A workflow engine is a tool for automating business processes. In the BPM platform you can build an approval chain of any complexity.

Approval modes

BPM offers three core modes:

1. Sequential

Requests are approved step by step. Each step waits for the previous one to finish.

Request → Step 1 → Step 2 → Step 3 → Approved

2. Parallel — all

The request goes to every approver at once. All of them must approve.

3. Parallel — any

The request goes to every approver at once. A single approval is enough.

Creating a workflow rule

Open the admin panel and follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings → Workflow
  2. Click New rule
  3. Enter the rule name and its conditions
  4. Add the steps
  5. Save

Conditional rules

Rules can carry conditions:

  • By amount — for requests above 10 million UZS
  • By priority — for high-priority requests
  • By request type — for purchases or repair work

Summary

The workflow engine saves time and makes processes transparent. For every request, a full record is kept of who approved it and when.
