What are SharePoint Workflows?
SharePoint workflows are pre-programmed mini-applications that
streamline and automate a wide variety of business processes — from
collecting signatures, feedback, or approvals for a plan or document,
to tracking the current status of a routine procedure. SharePoint
workflows are designed to save you time and effort, and to bring
consistency and efficiency to tasks that you perform on a regular basis.
