# About the Create Workflow Job Tool

The Create Workflow Job Tool is used to create a Task Step that dynamically creates Workflow Jobs. A Workflow Job Step dynamically generates one or any number of web page(s) containing fields for completion by recipients and publishes them to a web site folder on a specified web server. Each of these web pages is called a Workflow Job and can be assigned for completion to any number of recipients.

In addition, each Workflow Job can be assigned a number of Stages through which it must go before it is considered to be complete. For example if a Workflow Step is created to produce Purchase Orders for an item when the stock level reaches a certain point, the Workflow Job may need to go through a number of checking and review stages by stores, purchasing and QA personnel before being approved for purchase.

There are two methods by which recipients can access the Workflow Jobs that are applicable to them:

|  | The first method is for a hyperlink to the specific web page for the Workflow Job to be provided to the recipient in the body of an email. Clicking on the hyperlink opens the Workflow Job in a web browser window for the recipient to complete.

|  | The second method is for the recipient to use the Workflow Job Manager application which allows the recipient to log in and manage all of his currently assigned Workflow Jobs.

Once a recipient has entered or selected the necessary data in the Workflow Job page and has completed it by pressing on the applicable Submit button, the data is stored against variables previously created in the King Task Centre Task and is used in subsequent Task Steps. So for our Purchase Order example this could mean that if a column status is changed to Approved then a Purchase Order could be automatically created and sent to a supplier.
