Creating multi-user workflows in Confluence
...
- An employee goes to a Confluence page that contains the workflow.
- Since the employee does not belong to the 'manager' Confluence group, he will only see the relevant portion of the form.
- The employee fills it in and clicks a Continue button.
- puts the task on the manager's task list, [optionally] notifies the manager by email and displays a confirmation message to the employee.
- When the manager logs in, she visits a Confluence page that contains her task list.
- The employee's vacation request will be displayed in the task list.
- The manager performs the task. Since she belongs to the 'manager' Confluence group, she will see the manager-specific portions of the form. The employee-specific portions are automatically pre-filled.
- She approves/rejects the vacation request, digitally signs the form and clicks Finish.
- The employee is notified by email, and [optionally] a PDF image of the form is sent to the internal document management system or to Google Apps or saved in ' submissions repository.
