Workflow

Workflow software moves a piece of work between people: a purchase request goes to a manager, then finance, then back to the requester if something is missing. When that runs on email and spreadsheets, requests can stall in someone's inbox and it is hard to say where a given one is.

IKRC builds workflow applications with defined states, assignees and rules for each step. Examples include approvals, onboarding checklists, document review and exception handling. Each request shows its current step and who has it, and overdue items can be escalated automatically.

Recording who approved what

Approval history needs more than timestamps. SQL Server system-versioned temporal tables keep previous versions of a row, with period columns showing when each version was valid, for as long as the table's configured history retention allows; a finite retention period lets the database remove older history automatically. They also do not record which user made the change. An explicit action record for each step, with the actor, the decision, the comment and the time, fills that gap. Temporal tables are then useful as a second check on the data itself.
