Finishing a Workflow Activity you have performed

When you have finished performing a Workflow Activity, indicate this by explicitly finishing the Activity. If you find that you cannot finish the Activity, you must reassign it to another User or Group.

Procedure

  1. Open a browser, access a Web page that is editable and start editing by clicking the SDL Tridion button at the top left corner of the page.
  2. Click the Workflow area in the top right part of the screen and in the Things to do dialog that opens, select Started.
    You see Activities that you started.
  3. Select the Activity you want to finish.
    A detail screen for this Activity appears.
  4. Click Finish Activity.
    You see a Finish ITEM dialog, where ITEM is the Activity you have finished working on.
  5. Under Finish Activity Message, you can enter any comment you like about the Activity you performed.
  6. If finishing this Activity involves a decision (for example, to approve or reject reviewed content), select the next Activity to be performed from the Next Activity dropdown you see.
  7. If you want, you can change the name of the next Activity in the Title field.
  8. Click Done to finish this Activity.
    The Activity is finished and possibly gets assigned to another Group. You see your Started Activities list again, now without the Activity you just finished. The number in your Workflow area goes down by 1.
