Task route and sample Workflow template

Contenta delivers a standard workflow template that includes tasks and a task route. To access and view the workflow template:

Procedure

  1. As the sysadmin or projman user, click your desktop.
  2. Click Project > Workflow Templates.

    The Workflow Templates window appears. The WF_write_review template is the sample template delivered with the Contenta software.

  3. Click the WF_write_review template.
  4. Click Open. The template appears.

    Note the following about this sample workflow.

    • The task route begins with the Start task and has arrows through to the End task. Note that both the Start and End tasks are required and by default, are assigned to the ProjMan.
    • In this workflow, the ContentRoutingProject’s child object or the Project goes from its creation in the Start task, to the writing task. Note that the writer role is assigned to the writing task.
    • After the writing task, the Project or an object in the ContentRoutingProject goes to the reviewing task. The reviewer role is assigned to the reviewing task.
    • The double-sided arrow between the writing and reviewing task indicates that the Project or an object in the ContentRoutingProject can be passed between these two tasks as many times as necessary for the tasks to be considered complete.
    • Finally, the Project or an object in the ContentRoutingProject goes to the End task where changes are posted to linked data in the database.
