Overview
A workflow codifies a business or compliance process into...
The following workflows are included as templates on installation of the app
Custom workflows can also be created to meet your business, team or project needs.
States and transitions
These define the milestones (states) and routes between them (transitions) of your process. Transitions can take place based on content change, a content review, or a trigger action.
Content Reviews
Content reviews (known as approvals) are key events in the content production lifecycle. Reviewers check the content and decide whether to approve or reject it. Based on this decision, the workflow moves the content to a new workflow state - a content review transition. For some reviews, you can assign one or more users as reviewers.
Workflow Triggers
As users interact with content and the workflow, events are sent, such as a state change, an approved review decision, or a task assigned. One or more workflow triggers can be set to listen for an event, such as a state change to a specific state. When the event occurs, the trigger can set one or more actions. These include sending a custom email, setting a message, or changing the state. You can use these triggers to augment the content production process and automate workflow transitions.
Workflow Parameters
A Comala Document Management workflow can easily be edited or created using the workflow builder visual editor. The visual editor can also be used to inspect an existing workflow. Each workflow is scripted using JSON code and is stored in a template. The workflow template can be edited in the code editor. Changes made in one editor are automatically updated in the other editor. A workflow template can be added and applied to an individual page, or, more usually, in production mode, the space administrator adds and applies a workflow to all documents in a space.
