Workflow

A Content Manager Workflow Process ensures that tasks on an item follow a specific flow of activities. Each activity is assigned to a user. When a user finishes an activity, the next activity is then assigned to the next user in the Workflow Process.

The following items can have an associated Workflow Process:

Schemas
All Components created or edited using the Schema follow a specified Workflow Process
Structure Groups
All Pages created or edited within a Structure Group have an associated Workflow Process
Publications
All Component Templates and Page Templates created in a Publication follow a specified Workflow Process

For example, the creation of a Component based on a Schema called Feature Article could follow a Workflow Process whereby the Content Manager creates the article, sends it to another Group for approval, possibly sends it back to an Author for editing, until the article is ready to be published.
