Global Administration
Global Configuration
The global administration Configuration screen allows you to manage the general configuration of Comala Document Control:
To change these global configurations for Comala Document Control, choose the Edit button for each setting.
Configuration
Workflow Activity and Visibility
By default, only Space and Administrators and Page Editors can see draft content and the workflow activity in reports.
This visibility can set so any user can view the drafts and the workflow activity.
Page Update Reset
The default, Reset, requires content reviews to be undertaken every time you transition to a state containing the content review.
If this is set to Ignore, then there is no requirement for a content review to be undertaken when the workflow returns to a previously visited state with a content review.
Published View Macro Transform
If enabled, any content displayed using the include and excerpt-include macros only show the approved version of the referenced page. If the page is only in draft, no content is rendered.
Document Actions Dashboard Component
If enabled, a user's pending document actions, such as pending assigned approvals, are displayed on the Confluence dashboard.
Usage Statistics
When enabled, anonymous usage statistics will be sent to Comalatech to help improve the product.
Security
Global administrators can configure workflows in which spaces can be defined.
The addition and application of Comala Document Control Workflows can be Allowed or Restricted. This can be done for both
space workflows - managed and applied solely by space admins
page workflows - added by users on a page-by-page basis or blog-by-blog basis
Restrict (or allow) the use of Comala Document Control for specific spaces, which can be done by listing allowable spaces using their space keys in a comma-separated list.
Both space mode and page workflows can be enabled in the same space.
If the space admin enables the space mode workflow in a space, then any added page workflow is overridden by the space workflow's application.
Impersonation group for Refresh Data
This user group is used to impersonate a Confluence admin when running the refresh data process in a space. It lets a space administrator successfully refresh the workflow data for a space, including pages with page-level edit restrictions.
Edit the settings to add a Confluence user group with global administrator permissions:
Default value: Not set
Accepted value: Confluence user group
requires a group with Confluence global administrator permission
Adding a Confluence administrator group ensures the data refresh process in a space has access to restricted pages in the space.
