• Key Concepts: 
  Subflow is a feature of the SAP Workflow Service Runtime (WFS) that allows users to create a workflow process that consists of multiple sub-processes. Each sub-process can be assigned to a different user or group of users, and each sub-process can have its own set of tasks and activities. Subflows are useful for creating complex workflows that involve multiple users and tasks.
  
  How to use it: 
  Subflows can be created in the WFS Editor. To create a subflow, select the “Create Subflow” option from the menu. This will open a new window where you can define the parameters of the subflow, such as the name, description, and tasks. Once you have defined the parameters, click “Save” to create the subflow. You can then add tasks to the subflow by selecting “Add Task” from the menu. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a subflow, it is important to consider how it will interact with other parts of the workflow process. For example, if you are creating a subflow that involves multiple users, make sure that each user has access to all of the necessary information and resources. Additionally, consider how long each task in the subflow will take to complete and plan accordingly.
