Kuali OLE uses the KEW to handle the routing of electronic documents for actions such as approvals, acknowledgments and FYI notifications. Although much KEW functionality works behind the scenes, the action list and doc search buttons and the Workflow Admin submenu options on the OLE Admin tabs are part of the KEW. These workflow options allow you to access, act on, and search for many types of e-docs from various functional areas from a single location. Additionally, the Route Log tab on OLE e-docs is a workflow feature that allows you to follow the progress of given documents through the approval process.
Note
Many facets of Workflow (such as the route nodes that define how a given document type routes) are stored in workflow process definition files for the various document types. These files can be easily modified to alter the default routing of documents in your OLE implementation, but doing so requires a technical resource and as such is beyond the scope of this documentation.
OLE Workflow relies on Kuali Identity Management (KIM) to specify when workflow action requests are to be generated and who should take action to fulfill them. Functional users employ the KIM interfaces to make changes that affect the routing of documents.
Note
KFS Knowledge Transfer - KIM functions (roles permissions, responsibilities) was a video conference about roles and workflows. It also contains a visual demonstration on responsibilities.
