State status indicator circle
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Overview
In various parts of the interface (including the workflow popup), you will see a circle followed by a workflow state name.
The default color indicates the nature of the workflow state.
The state indicator circle color can be customized for each state.
State indicator circles - default colors
The default state indicator circle color differentiates between content that is
in a draft state
in the final (published) state
in a state in a workflow that does not have a final state
The state color is displayed in
the page state byline breadcrumb
in the workflow popup progress bar
in workflow builder for a state indicator circle and the state lozenge
in reports displaying the state name and state indicator circle
Colors listed on this page are the app default state colors; they can be overridden by the state color parameter by editing a state using workflow builder.
Undefined state
When the workflow does not define one state to be a published (final) state, all states in the workflow are shown with a blue state indicator circle in the workflow byline, workflow popup and in workflow builder.
The default blue colored indicator circle for each state in a workflow is only displayed when a final state has not been configured in the workflow and the default color for that state has not been changed.
Draft state
When the workflow includes a state defined as the published (final) state, all other states are displayed with an orange indicator circle in the workflow byline, workflow popup and in workflow builder.
Final state
When the workflow includes a state defined as the published (final) state, this state is displayed with a green indicator circle in the workflow byline, workflow popup and in workflow builder.
The final state is defined using the final=true parameter. This can be set using workflow builder to edit a state and check the Final attribute option box.
State indicator circles in workflow builder
In addition, in workflow builder the behavior or attribute of the state may be indicated with an icon appended to the state indicator circle.
The state that is the workflow final state (if a final state is set for the workflow) includes a flag icon appended to the state indicator circle.
A state including an approval displays the state indicator circle with a tick icon.
