The HUB - Opportunities - State Machine Workflow
This schematic shows the State Machine Workflow developed for the Opportunities process using Windows Workflow Foundation. It gives an indication of the expected journey an Opportunity might take in the HUB application. From this workflow other items and workflows will be initialise - i.e. Workflows for handling call backs, requesting documentation, requesting supplier information, quoting and so on. The opportunity will remain open until all workflow created under it have progressed to a final state.

The HUB - Call Backs - State Machine Workflow
This schematic shows the State Machine Workflow developed for the Call Back process using Windows Workflow Foundation. It gives an indication of the expected journey a call back might take in the HUB application. This is a relatively simple workflow that will be initialised from several of the HUB's other more complex workflows. The parent workflow will normally remain in an "unavailable" state until the call back is actioned and moves to a final state.

HUB Processes and Workflows
This document contains all information about the business processes and workflows the HUB application will support. Windows Workflow foundation will be used to develop these workflows within the application. The HUB will be able to make use of workflow tracking to enable analysis of how items progress through each workflow.
