Abstract:
Document management system includes a composite document (CD) and a mixed workflow, which includes an unordered stage followed by one of i) an ordered stage or ii) another unordered stage. The system includes a map-file (map) of the document (CD) for a participant (P) in the mixed workflow that is associated with the ordered or other unordered stage, and a wrap (W) of the map-file (map). Wrap (W) includes a number of map-file fragments (F) equal to or greater than a number of workflow participants (P) within a group (G) associated with the unordered stage. The number of map-file fragments (F) renders the document (CD) inaccessible to the participant (P) that is associated with the ordered or other unordered stage until each of the number of map-file fragments (F) is released by each of the workflow participants (P) within the group (G).
