Space workflows

Space workflows - space settings

Each of the workflows listed in the space document management dashboard can be

  • enabled and applied to all the pages and blog posts in the space

  • added on a page-by-page basis to each page and blog post in the space

Only one workflow can be active in the dashboard. Enabling a workflow automatically disables an existing active workflow.

By default

  • no workflow is enabled for the space

  • workflows included with the app are displayed in the dashboard

The app includes three workflows that cannot be overwritten or deleted:

In the dashboard, they are marked with the Template tag.

The dashboard also includes any other custom workflows created in the space or imported to the space.

A space administrator can enable one of the workflows. This active workflow is applied to all the pages and blog posts in the space as a space workflow by moving the grey slider to blue.

Space workflow application

To add and apply one of the workflows to all the pages and blog posts in the space

  • select and click on the grey slider next to the workflow name

The slider turns blue and activates the workflow. The workflow is applied to all the pages in the space.

An active workflow in the space document management dashboard overrides all workflows applied individually to pages and blog posts.

By clicking the blue slider on the active workflow to off (grey)

  • the active workflow in the space is disabled

  • it is removed from all the pages and blog posts in the space

Choosing to enable another workflow in the space disables any existing active workflow.

For a custom workflow, Actions includes additional options.

  • Edit with Visual Builder opens the visual editor to edit the workflow

  • Remove deletes the custom workflow from the space
