What is a document workflow?

A document workflow connects the stages of preparing, reviewing, approving, signing, and storing business documents so each step can be managed by people and applications.

When should I use TX Text Control for document workflows?

Use it when documents are central to a business process, such as contracts, approvals, HR processes, ERP transactions, customer portals, or electronic signatures.

Can I keep the workflow inside my application?

Yes. TX Text Control provides document editing, processing, collaboration, and signing components that can be integrated into your own application and infrastructure.

Can workflows use reusable templates?

Yes. Create reusable templates with merge fields and form fields, then create document instances programmatically or manually as each workflow starts.

Can I connect ERP and CRM data?

Yes. Applications can connect document templates to data from ERP, CRM, HR, and other business systems, including SAP and Oracle workflows.

Which document formats are supported?

Workflows can use DOCX, DOC, RTF, TX, HTML, Markdown, PDF, and PDF/A documents depending on the selected processing scenario.

Can users collaborate on documents?

Yes. Add comments, annotations, redlining, and tracked changes to support review and approval before documents move to signing or completion.

Can I integrate electronic signatures?

Yes. Approved documents can be passed into electronic signature workflows, including workflows built with TX Text Control and SignFabric.

Can workflows work on mobile devices?

Yes. Responsive document experiences support reviewing, completing, and signing workflows on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers.

Which platforms can host document workflows?

TX Text Control integrates with .NET applications and can be deployed on Windows or Linux, in Docker, and in cloud environments such as Microsoft Azure.

Does document processing require Microsoft Office?

No. TX Text Control uses its own document engine and does not require Microsoft Word or Microsoft Office automation on the server.

Can workflows be customized?

Yes. Applications control the workflow states, business rules, permissions, integrations, storage, and user experience around the TX Text Control document components.
