Running the pre-upgrade data checks for existing spaces with workflow activity provides you with information to validate that the data upgrade to document activity used in Comala Document Management 7 runs smoothly. The check also provides an estimate of the time your data center instance will need to be in Read-Only mode for the upgrade for the selected spaces to take place, to let you plan accordingly for minimal disruption to your users.
Existing spaces with no workflow applied (or previous workflow activity) do not require upgrading. If a workflow is applied after installing Comala Document Management v7.0+, these spaces automatically utilize document activity.
New spaces created after the installation of v7.0+ will automatically utilize document activity to record workflow events and actions.
