Solutions

Solutions_1__Ebene_klein.png

Solutions are upstream from workflows, so external systems do not need to be changed when the workflow is modified or updated.

Standard solutions can be enabled or disabled. Standard solutions cannot be modified, but you can create and edit your own solutions based on them. For more information, see Editing a Solution.

You can also create new solutions independent of standard solutions. For more information, see Creating a new solution.
