Workflow

Many products are, underneath, records moving through stages — an application, a claim, an order, a ticket. Prism's workflow pieces make that movement visible and reviewable.

The components​

  • StatusPipeline — the record's lifecycle as a sequence of stages with the current one marked. It answers "where is this?" at a glance.
  • ActivityTimeline — the history: who did what, when, in reverse chronological order. It answers "how did it get here?"
  • ReviewActionBar — the decision surface for a reviewer: approve, request changes, reject, with the actions pinned and unmistakable.

Composed together they form a record-review screen: pipeline at the top for orientation, timeline for context, action bar for the decision.

Rules​

  • The pipeline shows stages, not steps the user takes — it reflects state, it is not a wizard. For a task the user works through, use MultiStepForm instead.
  • Every timeline entry has an actor and a timestamp. An event with no "who" is noise.
  • Review actions are explicit and consequence-labelled. The destructive option is never the default, and irreversible actions confirm.
  • Keep the decision in view. A reviewer should never have to scroll to find how to act.
