One or more RFID tags may be read. An electronic document associated with the RFID tag may be identified. One or more attributes associated with the electronic document can be identified. One or more workflows can be determined according to the attribute(s).
Claims2
A computer program product comprising a computer readable device, wherein the computer-readable storage device is not a transitory, propagating signal per se, having program code stored thereon, the program code executable by a hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by an information processing system comprising a hardware processor, from a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader, information stored in at least one RFID tag and read from the at least one RFID tag by the RFID reader, the information comprising at least one attribute associated with an electronic document and metadata, the metadata listing at least one user;
- processing, by the information processing system, the at least one attribute associated with the electronic document and, responsive to processing the at least one attribute associated with the electronic document, selecting, by the information processing system, at least one workflow according to the attribute, wherein the workflow is predefined and documented;
- and
- processing, by the information processing system, the metadata read from the at least one RFID tag and, responsive to the information processing system processing the metadata, initiating, by the information processing system, the workflow, initiating the workflow comprising the information processing system discontinuing operation or processing of the electronic document when a user is logged into the information processing system, via which the electronic document is being accessed, and the user is not listed in the metadata read from the RFID tag.
