Abstract
An information management process generates channels that automatically send tasks to different users for different work flow stages according to different attributes assigned to the channel. The tasks may then be automatically sent back to the same users or to other different users in other work flow stages according to the channel attributes and conditions associated with the work flow stages. The information management process can be integrated with a search process and an analytics process to provide a closed loop information system.
