Set Parameters

A parameter value is used by the workflow when a workflow event retrieves the parameter value. For example, when the space workflow is active in the space and a new page is created.

Reindex Workflows
The option Reindex workflows of imported spaces should be used whenever a space is imported from another cloud space or cloud site.

If the reindex is not undertaken after an import has been completed, Comala Document Control workflows may not work on the added pages and the document report may display document states as 'not initialized'.
Initialize States
A space admin can choose to initialize the workflow state for the active space workflow applied to the content in the space.
Choose one of the workflow states from the dropdown menu to set the space workflow to a specific state in the currently active space workflow.
To set all the content in the space to the same state, in the confirmation dialog box check the Override preexisting states checkbox.
Clear Document Activity
Clear Document Activity deletes the workflow document activity for every page and blog post in the space and resets the workflow state to the initial workflow state of the enabled space workflow.
This action cannot be undone so be careful before choosing the Ok, clear Document Activity button in the confirmation dialog box.
