How to Create a Synchronous Workflow
It is important that you design your workflow on paper and ensure that it meets all the business requirements. Get the use case and business processes needed to process a credit application. Identify all the steps and the routing of the steps so that you can link one step to another such that the application processing starts from the submission of the application until the application is approved or rejected.
Steps are the building blocks of a workflow. The workflow is made up of steps that are executed when the workflow is run. Each workflow must have a start and end. The start signifies where a workflow starts and the end signifies where the workflow ends. Note that a workflow has a single start. From the starting point, the workflow may proceed along different branches till it reaches an end step, at which point it terminates. So, the end step can be called at different stages of the workflow. Ensure that you have defined and configured all the steps required in the workflow. Ensure that you handle any exceptions and error scenarios.
