Abstract: Various embodiments provide one or more of systems, methods, software, and data structures that include action request definitions that may be linked to a workflow process. Upon submission of an action request from an action request definition, an action request record may be created as a function of an action request definition and passed through a linked workflow process. The action request record may be modified, approved, or rejected. If approved, a process defined within the action request definition may cause a data change as a function of action request data. Action request records may be persisted, in some embodiments, to provide an action request audit trail.
