Status macro
Overview
A workflow can be configured to automatically update the Status macro caption to be the current workflow state name when a state transition occurs.
Note: This is primarily for older templates. Where possible, use the Page Status Macro instead.
Workflow setup
Use the updatestatus=true parameter on the workflow macro.
{workflow:name=Update status|updatestatus=true}
{state:First}
{state}
{state:Second}
{state}
{workflow}Adding the macro
To add the macro to a page:
In the editor, choose Insert → Status
Set the Title, Color and Outline Style to whatever you want
Choose Insert
Here's how the macro looks on your page:
State
Whenever the workflow state changes, the status macro will be updated to reflect the current workflow state.
The current workflow state for an applied workflow state on a page is stored as a value reference - this can be retrieved as a metadata value using @awpState@ using the get-metadata macro or an appropriate reporting app or third party macro.
