Entry Point

In Progression, an Entry Point is a part of a Start Task definition which serves to introduce document and/or binder objects into workflow as a Work Item object based on a specified set of criteria involving index field states and values.

For example, in a Human Resource workflow such as the Vacation Request Process, the entry point for the process is receiving the Vacation Request from the employee.

Once the business workflow process is completed, the Work Item has reached a Finish Task which is its Exit Point where the Work Item object is removed and its links to the document and/or binder objects are released; However, the documents involved remain protected within DocuPhase.
