Workday Business Process Terms

Approve

An approval action in a business process that allows designated participants to progress an event to the next step.

Business Process Instance

A business process that the initiator has started. For example, the Hire Employee for Organization X  business process definition becomes a business process instance when the initiator uses it to hire a particular applicant.

Cancel (business process)

Canceling a business process stops the workflow in progress and reverses changes made to data. You can not cancel a completed business process; you must rescind it. This is a securable action in a business process security policy.

Deny (business process)

When you deny a business process, the business process is terminated and all Workday data is restored to its state before the business process started. To restart the business process, you need to submit the process again, and redo all previously completed steps.

Initiative Step

The first step of a business process.

View (business process)

A securable item used to allow members to view the status of a business process and report on it. This is a securable item in a business process security policy.
