Space scope

Adding a copy of a global workflow template to a space changes to scope of the workflow to a space scope. A space scope workflow

  • is unique to the space

  • has no retained link to the source global workflow template

  • editable in the space

  • is added as disabled

  • applied to the space content when enabled by the space administrator

Info

Enable and apply a space scope workflow to all the pages in the space by moving the grey X slider to a green tick slider.

A space administrator can also copy an existing global scope workflow (or a space scope workflow) added to a space to create a space scope workflow editable in that space.

There is a hierarchy of space workflow application when one or enabled workflows are present in the space document management space workflows dashboard. For example, a global scope workflow in a space is applied in to space content even if there is an enabled space scope workflow.
