Before creating your solution, it is recommended you become familiar with the requirements and guidelines for a team solution. For more information, see Planning a Team Solution.

As a starting point for creating a team solution, you have two choices:

• Start from a database   Create a new SQL Server database and a new FrontPage Web site, or use an existing database and Web site and add workflow features to them. For details, see Creating a Team Solution from a Database.

• Start from a template   Create an instance of a solution from a template, and then customize it to suit your requirements. When Access Workflow Designer server components are installed, an Issue Tracking template is included. This template can be used as-is or as the basis for new customized solutions. For details, see Creating a Team Solution Based on a Team Template.

Once you have the database schema in place, you must register your database as a team solution and then add the workflow features to the solution. For details, see Registering a Solution Database.
