# DesWorkflowDefinition

A workflow definition contains a logical sequence of tasks.

### Common Data Model

- [Workflow](https://w3id.org/altium/cdm/customization/Workflow) — A process workflow of an Altium 365 Workspace: the workflow that belongs to a process definition and steps designers through an everyday design process (e.g. requesting a new part, a design review or creating a new project). Workspace administrators build process definitions in the Process Workflow Editor, grouped by process theme (Part Requests, Project Activities, Project Creations), and activate them; each started instance of a process follows the workflow and creates tasks for the users whose action is needed to move it on.
