Workflows in SharePoint 2010 Training

The key capability of SharePoint 2010 to create custom workflows holds many benefits for users. One, it allows for users to attach behavior to data. Another important benefit is that this property tends to reduce the unnecessary interactions between users while they perform business processes. The more the amount of user interactions, the more it intervenes with the business process and inhibits its completion. Here we discuss the essential workflows that help users streamline their processes.

You can learn more about these and other functions in detail by enrolling for SharePoint 2010 Training. Workflows can be applied by end-users at the document library or list level. They can be added to list items, documents or content types. There are two basic workflow types which you can create.

·         Sequential Workflows

·         State Machine Workflows

You can use either of these in your SharePoint operations. Let's talk about them one by one.

Sequential workflows, as the name suggests, represent a series of steps to be completed in succession until the last task on the list is completed. However, there is a limitation. The actual order of execution of steps can vary because there may be some external events with parallel logic flows, which interfere with the sequential flow of events.

State Machine workflows represent a set of actions or states. The initial state is called start state and a transition to the next state can be made based on an event. The last state is known as final state, when the workflow ends.

Also, remember that workflow versioning is a crucial technique. One of the best practices, creating a version every time is important because it can hamper the way you want your workflow activities to behave. Attending a hands on training for SharePoint will help you learn more about this in greater detail.
