Making a workflow active in the dashboard disables an existing active workflow. Comala Document Management app cannot have more than one active space workflow.

There is no option to filter the application of a space workflow by the content label or by content type (blog post, page).

Workaround

An alternative approach to using multiple active workflows in a space is to create a workflow that provides different approval 'paths' depending on your requirements.If there are

For example

  • some pages in your space

that
  • do not require a workflow,

you could
  • add a Not subject to workflow / No workflow needed state to your workflow as shown below.

An example workflow implementing this workaround is displayed below.

The initial state Start is used to select

  • one of two different paths (Path 1 Draft or Path 2 Draft) in the workflow with a different documentation process

  • transition to a state (Not Subject to Workflow) that does not require any workflow process.

Info

The alternative to applying a space workflow is to use a workflow applied on a page-by-page basis (page workflow).
