Workflow ID

[arnab26]

Hi All,

Can somebody please help me to understand, when I start a workflow from siteadmin dialog box, how it gets triggered. How does system understand that the workflow has to be executed. Does AEM has some configuration or bundle for this which stores the workflow ID's and executes the workflow? How it happens? And also please let me know can we see workflow id's somewhere?

Thanks in advance,

Arnab
