Understanding workflow solutions
A workflow solution determines the specifics of each stage of a job in LDD to meet a business need. Each workflow
solution contains scripts that determine the specifics of each stage of a job in LDD.
The stages of a job in LDD are the following:
1 Document capture
2 Document processing
3 Document routing
4 Confirmation
See the Lexmark Document Distributor Administrator's Guide for more information about each stage. A workflow
solution usually provides a new profile, or a type of job a user can initiate, on a device or software client to which it is
deployed.
Some scripts may be scheduled to run at particular times.
A workflow solution contains some or all of the following elements:
• Scripts—These define the actions executed when a workflow solution is initiated. Scripts can be static, or they may
solicit user input to make decisions about processing and routing documents. For example, a script that processes
bank loans may request additional user input such as a branch name, account number, or social security number.
Scripts are not required if a solution is used only to install an eSF application or component.
• Policy—These are settings for the solution and the printers to which it is deployed:
– Device settings—This is the configuration required on devices to support the jobs. This configuration typically
includes profiles but can include almost any device setting.
– Solution settings—These are settings exposed by a solution that allow its jobs or device configurations to be
adjusted in the field. Some settings are global to the solution across all devices, while others vary from one
group of devices to another.
• eSF application—This is an application installed on the printer to provide functionality needed by the solution, such
as delayed sending of scanned documents.
