# Enterprise Grade Components of Tulip
# Self Manage, Act & Execute
Tulip, is designed with a user-friendly approach that empowers business users to self-manage and execute automation processes without extensive technical knowledge or assistance. This self-service capability is a defining feature of Tulip, making it accessible and adaptable for enterprises aiming to streamline their operations efficiently.
Tulip provides users with complete transparency of the previous run history, wherein the users can always view the execution at any prior date also. They can easily track the step at which an Automation Service fails (in the event of failures) and in parallel, raise the support team. These self-services are a great means for the business users to experience the entire life cycle of an instance of automation for the business process they are part of and have a complete control of the same
Despite the many touchless automations that Tulip supports, there are many instances of automations where the “human-in-the-loop” feature is much sought after. This means that in the process of automating a business process, there are certain check points wherein the automation cannot proceed without human intervention. It can be as simple as an Approval needed to proceed or can be complex like some input files/text needed. Tulip takes care of this by means of User Approval tasks and User Input tasks, which are the elements by which users can intervene in automations. Tulip elevates the user experience by bringing in mobility. You can now approve the tasks on the go anywhere, at any time right from your mobile.
# Control & Manage
Tulip Execution View is a powerful feature that empowers automation owners to have better control and visibility over the automations being executed in their enterprise. It provides real-time insights and monitoring capabilities, allowing automation owners to effectively manage, optimise, and track automation performance.
Tulip Execution View offers a comprehensive dashboard that displays real-time information about the status and progress of automation processes. Automation owners can monitor the execution of each automation, track the completion status, and identify any potential issues or bottlenecks.

In order to execute an end-end business process, many bots come in together in a particular sequence. Each bot derives its inputs from the previous element in the workflow. In addition to bots, there may be other elements like user inputs and user approvals in the sequence. The grouping of the various elements in such sequences constitutes Workflows
Tulip adopts a low-code workflow automation approach, which means that citizen developers can build, modify, and manage automation workflows using a visual interface with minimal coding requirements. The user-friendly drag-and-drop functionality allows business users to design automation processes intuitively, reducing the dependency on IT teams or developers
