How it works...

This concept is the same for workflow approval. The workflow task element is a definition that the designer will use when creating a workflow. The code we wrote simply handles events as we need them to be.

The complicated part to understand is the status handling. It seems natural to have a status field for each workflow element (the type, approval, and task), and with this paradigm we're left wondering why there isn't a standard Base Enum we could use. The status of the document can be defined by us – what makes sense to the business, and not what makes sense in code. For the inspection task, we want to know whether a vehicle is waiting for inspection, is in progress, or is complete.
