What are Workflows?
Automation is one of the most powerful time and effort savings features that an application can contain. XenDirect workflows are a self-guided form of automation to perform a series of sequential steps faster than the user could perform if they had to go do each step manually. XenDirect utilizes workflows in many areas including registration, payment, and course management.
