Workflow process format

To structure a workflow script, Guidewire uses the concept of a directed graph that shows how the Workflow instance moves through the various states. This directed graph is known formally as a Petri net or P/T net. Guidewire calls each state a Step and calls a transition between two states a Branch. Guidewire defines multiple types of steps and branches.

Even though Guidewire defines the workflow scripts in XML files, you use Guidewire Studio to view, edit, manage, and create new workflows scripts.
