alio® Workflow

Workflow offers greater insight into the data within alio. Comprised of three components, workflow foundation, workflow business rules and traditional workflow, Workflow foundation will be released as part of alio Web 1.0.

The Workflow foundation centers on database tracking. Users have the capability to track virtually anything within alio’s databases and then receive email updates based on previously designated parameters. For example, when a social security number, a vendor name, a salary figure, etc. are altered, these critical changes are tracked and email alerts are sent to a designated person for review. This aids in eliminating potential fraud and promotes accountability.

The second component of alio Workflow is business rules. This allows users to set up specific time-sensitive alerts that require action. Tracking teacher certificates about to expire, a budget that is nearly exhausted, or a specific payroll rule, alio Workflow notifies you immediately of any potential issues.

Finally, there is a traditional workflow module. The workflow element is set up to follow your school’s business processes and objectives. The impact of workflow is felt in areas such as Human Resources. With Workflow, manual processes that could not be tracked and were time consuming, will now have visibility and can be accomplished with limited user input.

All workflow components will create a management report that can be scheduled to be delivered via e-mail or standard stock ticker to the proper staff members when a workflow alert is created.
