# How to use Workflows

## What is a workflow?

Struct PIMs workflow engine is a powerful feature that allows you to manage, structure and organize your work within the system. A workflow consists of workflow settings and workflow states.

Workflow settings contains the alias of your workflow, and a label for the business rule. Meanwhile Workflow states contains the created [states](/reference/settings/data-governance/workflows/workflow-states.md) the workflow can be in and the [transitions](/reference/settings/data-governance/workflows/workflow-states/workflow-state-transitions.md) added between them.

Workflows can be found by navigating to data governance under "settings" and clicking on workflows.
