SAS Workflow provides
services that work together to model, automate, integrate, and streamline
business processes. It provides a platform for more efficient and
productive business solutions.
SAS Workflow is used
by SAS solutions that benefit from business process management. SAS
Workflow Studio is a desktop client application that is used to design
and deploy workflow definitions. The SAS middle tier hosts the workflow
engine and the workflow services as part of the SAS Web Infrastructure
Platform. The SAS Model Manager Workflow Console is used to manage
the workflows that are associated with modeling projects and versions.
From the SAS Model Manager
client application, you can view a workflow, create a new workflow
for a version, and view your workflow inbox to work with activities,
depending on the user permissions. The option that is selected and
the user permissions determine the category view and content that
are displayed when Workflow Console is launched. SAS Model Manager
administrators can view the Workflow Definitions, Workflows, and Activities
category views of Workflow Console. SAS Model Manager users and advanced
users can view only the Activities category view. For more information
about user permissions,
see Configuring Users, Groups, and Roles in SAS Model Manager: Administrator's Guide.
