Documents module is special considered to other Entity module.

While in other modules - user creates Record directly and workflow
are defined as per this assumption.

Records to this module get generated by system and user both.
This makes it hard to build workflow for Documents and could get
crazy at times when workflow tasks operates.

We will review this.

    vtiger have two important limitations:
    1. Workflows in documents
    2. possibility to attach document to the email created in workflow


    Example scenario:
    Lead fill up webform showing his interest in services. Company
    managing CRM wish to send to him automatically nice created outside
    of vtiger booklet in pdf format.

    Currently this kind of interaction with customers is impossible. I
    can generate hundreds of exaples of usage of attachements in
    workflows but I belive developper can do it too :-)

    Another issue is documents module (this was discussed few times
    too). Can developper tell us why documents module have no workflows?
    Is this module worse that any other? Everybody knows that all our
    life is based on managing documents. Why this module looks like
    orphan? Workflows are simnple addon to this module but will change a
    lot. I was analysing it through months and see that developper for
    some reason dont want add this funcionality which seems to be really
    important to make vtiger standing a bit out of the crowd (at least
    in opensource category). Come on guys, it few lines of code. Do it
    for developpers.. :-)
