A Workflow Definition enables definition of a sequence of operations performed by MEGA users. When executed, the workflow (Workflow Instance) assures management of the sequence of operations and notification of the Person (System) involved. The workflow can be applied to a repository object known as the Workflow Subject. In this case, expected operations are related to this object.

Formally, a Workflow Definition is represented in the form of a state machine comprising Workflow Status. The sequence of Workflow Status is expressed by linking these using Workflow Transition.

At any given moment of Workflow Instance progress, one of the Workflow Definition Workflow Status is the current Workflow Status. Output Workflow Transition of this Workflow Status correspond to the different possible operations expected of participant Person (System).

Person (System) participating in a Workflow Instance pass it from the current Workflow Status to the next by triggering the Workflow Transition corresponding to the operation performed by the Person (System).
