Workflow
This section explains how to pick up, start, perform and finish Workflow Activities, how to create a Task, and how to check the workflow properties of items that are subject to workflow.
- Picking up a Workflow Activity assigned to your Group
If a Workflow Activity is assigned to your Group, a notification appears in the top right hand side of your screen. You can also see all Workflow Activities assigned to your Group in the Things to do popup, also accessible from the top right hand side of your screen. You can look at the Activity's details and decide to pick it up. - Performing a Workflow Activity you have picked up
View Workflow Activities you have picked up at the top right hand part of the screen, and perform the Activity. - Reassigning a Workflow Activity you have picked up
After you have started an Activity, you can (and sometimes must) reassign it to another User or Group. - 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. - Publishing items that are in Workflow
If an item achieves a Workflow status known as minimum approval status for a destination, you can publish it to that destination. If the item is in Workflow and does not meet the minimum approval status, the Content Manager publishes the last checked-in version of the item (if it exists and if it does have a minimum approval status that allows it to be published). - Creating a Task
You can create a Workflow Process that does not involve any content items, and assign it to a User or Group. Such a Process is called a Task. - Workflow Activity Details
The details displayed for an Activity. - Workflow tab of an item subject to workflow
If you open an item that is subject to workflow in Content Manager Explorer, the Workflow tab of the item dialog gives you information about the workflow properties of the item.
