FileBound Workflow

All Enterprise Document Management Solutions should incorporate workflow! Many applications require multiple decision points and the ability to share documents among many users to complete these. The FileBound workflow module automates the collaboration and assignment of tasks to accelerate the completion of critical business decisions. This equates to increased operational efficiencies, reduced costs, and organizational scalability.

Typical applications that benefit from FileBound workflow include invoice processing, HR, hiring, medical transcriptions, lab results, remote coding, and loan approval. In each of these applications, routing rules are configured which include the route each document takes upon entering the workflow based on index data. At each step in the workflow, decisions are made which determine the next step in the process. At each step users have the ability to create notes that travel with the document as it is processed. Users are assigned tasks that need to be completed and are notified of the task via email and with an entry in their task list.

Documents can enter a workflow either as a result of scanning the document, importing of application documents, the creation of an electronic form or through manual assignment.
