Accessing the Oracle Workflow Home Page
Use the Oracle Workflow home page to link to all of Oracle Workflow's web-based features. This page centralizes your access to the features so you do not have to remember individual URLs.

The web page also displays your current Worklist of notifications to provide you quick access to the work that is awaiting.
