To document the functionality of the Mayan EDMS application we will test the simple Workflow we have set up in the previous posts and show the steps and strings the users would perform taking the document through the following States.
| State | ActivitY |
|---|---|
| Reception | The user verifies the physical claim, scans the document as a PDF and uploads the files to Mayan EDMS |
| Analyst | The user would verify eligibility and ad supporting documentation. Then send that info for authorization |
| Expert | A user that could authorize payment would review the documents and reject it at this time as it needs historical data. Note: there is a ‘Smart Link’ functionality so we could associate all claims maybe using the ‘insurance policy’. We haven’t done that set up but is similar to the index set up. |
| Analyst | Adds the requested information (using clinical history PDF) and set it again for approval |
| Expert | This time we assume the approval is done, payment and notification is done. Note: There is an example in the forum to send an automatic email. |
| Vault | The document will reside in an historical vault. |
The Analyst and Expert states have a corresponding group and ‘Tags’ so the users can locate the documents easily. The first and last States have documents that can be accessed to this group but using the tags ‘Claim review’ and ‘Expert’ would be easier for them. It also make useless to notify users by mail and flood their incoming folder with spam.
The workflow with the States, Transitions and Tags in a diagram is
I. Upload
To start the exercise we will log in as root and impersonate ([System-Action] > Tools > Impersonate user]) or log in as each of them
Log in as jsmith/Password54321 to receive a document and upload it: [Left-Menu] > Documents > New document, then
- Choose the document type
- Type the metadata: Select ‘Department A’, 20210511 as Claim ID, 05/11/2021 as date received.
Important: Response (ID) will be left empty and filled at the last step so we could search for the ID as we open the request and the solution ID. - The tag will be left empty as we have setting and removal of them on automation
- Then choose our ‘Claim PDF’ and click on the ‘Document received’ button
- List the recently added document:
[Left-Menu] > Documents > Recently added
Step 1 
Step 2 
Step 3 
Step 4 (actual upload) 
Recently added
II. Review our document
- Locate it with
[Left-Menu] > Documents > Recently added - Click the link to preview the document
- Review options:
[Action-Select] > OCR
[Action-Select] > Pages
[Action-Select] > Metadata

III. Transition to next state
- In the document page click
[Action-Select] > Workflows - Then click the ‘Transition’ button
- Select the next state (we only have one as the workflow)
- Add a message and click the ‘Submit’ button

IV. Analysis
This step is the first state that has a Tag associated with it. That will make easy to locate documents that need attention in a specific state
Log in as adow/Password54321 and:
- Open the document
Check the document name, confirm that the cryptic name is now the ID as we configured in automation. - Open documents with tag ‘On Claim Review’
[Left-Menu] > Tags > All
Click on Documents button - You can download any version of a document by
[Action-Select] > Versions
Click the ‘Download version’ button - Next upload a document that will be needed in the next stage
[Action-Select] > Versions
[Action-Select] > Upload version
Add a comment, select the file and click the ‘Upload document’ button on the far bottom-right - Check again the versions, there will be now two of them one with 2 pages the new one with five. The OCR option will show the latest one.
- Now do the transition to ‘Expert’ as we did in last step

V. Expert
This stage has two transitions, the one that will be shown is the one that takes the document back in the workflow. We will ask for more information.
Log in as the Expert hbrown/Password54321 or impersonate it from the admin user:
- Open documents with tag ‘On Expert’
[Left-Menu] > Tags > All
Click on Documents button - Open the document
- Open the workflow and choose the transition ‘Reject’ to send the document back with a comment that more information is needed (clinical report).

VI. back in Analysis
Log in as adow/Password54321 or impersonate the user:
- Check the log to check the last message.
Open documents with tag ‘On Claim Review’
[Left-Menu] > Tags > All
Click on Documents button
[Action-Select] > Workflow
Click the ‘Detail’ button - Add a new version with the requested file
- Make the transition to the Expert

VII. Expert Again
This time the document will advance in the process.
Log in as the Expert hbrown/Password54321 or impersonate it from the admin user:
- Check that the document is Tagged ‘On Expert’
- Open versions and check that we have al three of them
We can preview and download al documents needed to process this request even add a payment document but we have done an upload already. - As the process will be done we add the final ID.
But the metadata page only shows the items with data so we need to ‘add’ a metadata ‘4. Response’ as ‘PAIDCLAIM20210515’ - Then transition to ‘Vault’ with a note.
The whole log will be shown - Check the Tags to confirm that there is no document to be processed

VIII. Historical Vault
The process is completed but we need a repository of our cases, so in this example there is a state that is out of the tagged States that holds all of them.
Log in as jsmith/Password54321 but all of our users have been configured to have access to this Document type.
- Locate the document in the ‘Vault’ state it using the Indexes:
[Left-Menu] > Claims > Department A > 2021-05 - Also check the states to verify that the document is in the last one
Locate by Indexex 
Locate in States
IX. Search
The search field is in the main page (click the Mayan logo) to get there.
We can search for a metadata value (Claim ID=2021 or Response=PAIDCLAIM2021051), full text (‘country context’ or ‘what is this form’) in different versions. The result page will show the document only not the exact page. If it is not found it will show the documents it searched with an “X” to signal it is not in that document.

By Metadata value (1) 
By Metadata value (2)

That’s it the hole workflow route.
