    A visit request workflow is a series of activities performed by the system or authorized people during the life cycle of a visit request. The activities can change the state and properties of visit requests, affect other entities in the system, or wait for conditions to be met.
  - About visit request watchlist workflow
    A watchlist workflow is a series of activities performed by the system or authorized people during the life cycle of a visit request if watchlists are enabled.
