Comala Document Control workflows

Comala Document Control includes several Comala workflows available on installation and subscription to the app in a Confluence Cloud site.

You can select and enable one of these workflows to be applied as a space workflow to all the pages and blog posts in a space in each space document control dashboard.

If there is no active space workflow in a space, a workflow can be applied to each page in the space.

Approvals, by default, in the Draft and the In Approval states in the Quality Management System workflow require an e-signature for reviewers.

  • Review

  • Approved

  • Rejected

Users can be assigned to review and approve the content in the workflow

  • Review state

  • Rejected state

The applied workflow transitions to the Approved or Rejected state based on an approval of the page content.

Each time the Approved content is edited, the content state is reset to the Review state.

Content Expiry Approval Workflow

The page or blog post is in one of four workflow states

  • Review

  • Rejected

  • Approved

  • Expired

Users can be assigned to review and approve the content.

A review is undertaken when the document is in the Review, Rejected, and Expired state.

Updating a page in the Expired or Approved state causes the workflow to transition to the Review state.

Approved state content expires after a set period of time. the workflow transitions to the Expired state to undertake a review to identify and update possible stale content.

Quality Management System (QMS) Workflow

  • Draft

  • In Approval

  • Published

  • Obsolete

This workflow has greater flexibility to manage the review and approval of content

  • users or groups of users that are allowed to approve can be restricted by adding users as a value for the workflow parameters used by the workflow to assign reviewers

  • an e-signature process (user email and one-time password authorization) is set for each approval
