This document describes how to use a workflow in the infoex system.

Background

A workflow links together user-specified tasks into a logical order so that users can repeatedly move through the same steps. Workflows can be created and edited by operation administrators and super users. Workflows can contain the following types of steps:

Context: A 'context' step provides information about the workflow itself and offers a place to record the following information:
Webpage: A 'webpage' step allows the workflow user to view a stored webpage without leaving the application.
Snowpack: A 'snowpack' step allows the workflow user to add a snowpack description in narrative form.
Observation: An 'observation' step allows you to fill out a customized infoex observation as part of the workflow.
Report: A 'report' step allows you to view a customized infoex report as part of the workflow.
Hazard comment: A 'hazard comment' step allows you to create and add a comment about avalanche hazard in narrative form as part of the workflow.
Hazard assessment: A 'hazard assessment step allows you to create and add a hazard assessment as part of the workflow.

Step-by-step description

1. login to the infoEx system with any valid user account.
2. if you are enabled in more than one operation you must select an operation on the first screen after logging in.
3. From the 'Workflows' menu select the workflow you want to follow. You may choose either 'start new' or 'view historical'. The rest of this page reviews starting a new instance of a workflow by selecting 'start new'. To view previously completed workflows consult: Viewing previously completed workflows
