Workflow state dialog box

Overview

The workflow state dialog box (or workflow popup) lets you monitor the progress of the workflow applied to a page or blog post. Editors and reviewers also use it to interact with the applied workflow

The contents of the workflow state dialog box change to reflect the current workflow state for the content and the type of transition that is defined for the current state.

If the state has a content review, this is characterized in the workflow state dialog box by buttons, usually captioned Approve and Reject. In some content reviews in a workflow state, there is an option to assign one or more users as reviewers.

-Workflow progress tracker bar

The workflow progress tracker bar can be found at the bottom of the workflow state dialog box.

You can scroll over the tracker bar to view the state names in the current added workflow.

The progress tracker identifies the current state in the workflow as a blue dot.

If a final state is present in the workflow, this state is displayed as a green dot, and the state name is appended with FINAL.

-By default, the workflow state dialog box also displays

  • the destination state name (Next: <statename>) for the current transition

  • (if present in the workflow) the final state name (Final: <statename>)
