Document Processing Flow in V39

In v39, the new Document Processing flow included in the instance differs from the one included in previous versions. Specifically, it's a flow group rather than a single flow. For more information about flow groups, see Connecting Flows to Other Flows.

The Document Processing flow group consists of:

  • A subflow called “Document Processing Subflow V38,” which contains the blocks included in previous versions of the Document Processing flow, with the exception of the Input Block and Output Block. This flow is read-only.

  • A subflow called “Submission State Notifications V38,” which is the latest version of the Submission State Notifications flow included in previous versions of the application.

  • A top-level flow called “Document Processing.” It consists of an Input Block, a block that calls Document Processing Subflow V38, and an Output Block.

Upgradability

If your business case allows it, we recommend migrating to v39’s Document Processing flow. We designed it so that the effort required to upgrade to future versions of the Document Processing flows would be minimized. When v40 becomes available, you can upgrade to Document Processing Subflow V40 by selecting it in the Flow Identifier drop-down list in the Start Document Processing Subflow Block’s settings.

If you use custom flows, we recommend that your flow developers include this capability in those flows, as well.
