3 Manual LotusScript hardcoding Two Lotus solutions Visual Lego-like engineering

4 Project Process Process tokens Domino Workflow tokens Activity Automated Activity Routing Relation Ask user to select decision: who works on the documents next, which automated activity is launched Perform associated tasks Do checks and actions like Activity, but without user intervention Check activity result; initiate next activity
