What is it?

You can now setup your business process actions (BPA) in WorkSpan. We have expanded on the universe of workflows and made it ever so more powerful.

Such a workflow would consists of triggers and actions. Where the triggers can be events that happen in a partnering business process like new partner joining the program, updates to a shared attribute are done by a partner, updates to an opportunity attribute is done in CRM and same update has reached WS shared opportunity too. And actions can be targeted notifications to specific individuals, new tasks created and assigned to specific individuals within the company etc.
Long story short; we can say -- 

If(Condition) → Show (Action Button(s)) to (List of users/Owners/Collaborator etc) → Do (Action Items) [These actions can be triggered manually as well as automatically based on another events]

Sample example for BPA : Displaying a simple reimbursement process
