The process for developing a workflow involves a series of phases. You can follow a different sequence of phases or skip a phase, depending on the type of workflow that you are developing. For example, you can create a workflow without custom scripting.
Generally, you develop a workflow through the following phases.

Create a new workflow or create a duplicate of an existing workflow from the standard library.

2 |
Provide general information about the workflow.
|
3 |
Define the input parameters of the workflow.
|
4 |
Lay out and link the workflow schema to define the logical flow of the workflow.
|
5 |
Bind the input and output parameters of each schema element to workflow attributes.
|
6 |
Write the necessary scripts for scriptable task elements or custom decision elements.
|

Create the workflow presentation to define the layout of the input parameters dialog box that the users see when they run the workflow.
