Business Processes

Business processes are created in Laserfiche Workflow and can automatically route entries, sync with databases, send emails, apply metadata, and much more. Business processes can be manually started in Laserfiche Mobile and will record information about their progress, who interacted with entries in the process, and what needs to happen next.
