Abstract
Example embodiments relate to a network-based workflow system, employed for receiving workflows, defining one or more data-object types based on the workflows, generating data-objects, assigning a workflow from among the one or more workflows to the data-object, and managing the data-object through various states of based on the workflow. As discussed, a “workflow” refers to orchestrated and repeatable patterns enabled by a systematic organization of resources into processes that transform and modify presentations of data-objects based on corresponding data-object states. A workflow may therefore comprise a set of states, wherein each state is linked to another state by one or more transitions, and wherein the transitions are associated with a set of events which may occur at each state.
