Flow folders resemble normal folders in that they can contain other objects such as documents and notes. In addition, flow folders are assigned a set of tasks to be performed on the contents of the folder. A flow folder is assigned to the users responsible for each task in turn, in the order specified.
The tasks of a flow folder do not represent a separate object type and only have a name, an informal description and a responsible person. They are not to be confused with the independent task objects mentioned above.
