Abstract
Workflows designed to take advantage of the capabilities of workflow-enabled application programs are disclosed. Examples of workflow-enabled application programs are word processing application programs and e-mail application programs. In response to determining that an incomplete workflow task exists, forms data is sent to a workflow-enabled application program. In response to the receipt of forms data, the workflow-enabled application program presents a workflow task form to the user of the workflow-enabled application program. Embodiments may determine whether a workflow task change or completion by a particular user at a particular time is authorized by the workflow. If a workflow task change or completion is not authorized the workflow rolls back the workflow task to a previous version of the task. Embodiments may determine if an incomplete workflow task is assigned to a group, and, if so assigned, function to prevent duplication of effort by participants in the group.
