Workfellow Agent employs various underlying technologies to collect data on Windows platforms, providing valuable insights into work processes. This article will introduce the technologies used by Workfellow Agent for data collection and explain how the data is processed according to Work API configurations.

#### Data Collection Technologies <a href="#wm0l34cm5ya" id="wm0l34cm5ya"></a>

Workfellow Agent uses the following technologies for the data collection on the Windows platform:

**1. Windows COM (Component Object Model):**

Windows COM is a software architecture that allows applications to communicate with one another. Workfellow Agent leverages COM to gather data from different components and processes within the Windows environment

**2. DOM (Document Object Model):**

The DOM is a programming interface for HTML and XML documents. Workfellow Agent uses DOM to access, manipulate, and analyze structured documents, enabling it to collect relevant data from these sources.

**3. Windows DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries):**

Workfellow Agent utilizes DLLs such as User32 and System32 to interface with the Windows operating system. These libraries contain functions, classes, and resources that Workfellow Agent can use to gather information about user activities and system events.

#### Data Processing and Work API Configurations <a href="#crwqo16l5k3p" id="crwqo16l5k3p"></a>

Once data is collected locally, Workfellow Agent labels, prunes, and prepares the information according to Work API configurations. Work API configurations use simple JSON-formatted specifications, making it easy for organizations to customize the data collected and processed by Workfellow Agent.
