Abstract

See full text

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for programmatic evaluation of document workflows. An example of the method includes receiving a document workflow object, the document workflow object comprising a string defining a set of rule criteria and an indicator of at least one task to be performed in response to meeting the set of rule criteria, storing the document workflow object in an object datastore, the object datastore stored in a memory, evaluating the document workflow object using a workflow engine executed on a processor, and, in response to evaluating the document workflow object, executing, by the workflow engine, the at least one task. Evaluating the document workflow object includes parsing the string to generate a set of machine-readable instructions for evaluating the rule criteria, executing the instructions to evaluate the rule criteria, and determining that the rule criteria are satisfied based at least in part on execution of the instructions determining that at least one document is present within a document repository.
