Default Process Definitions
When you create a Publication, Content Manager may create a number of Default Process Definitions. You can use these Default Process Definitions as a sample or starting point for your own Process Definition.
Creating a new Publication only creates these Default Process Definitions if the Publication is not a Child Publication. If it is a Child Publication, it inherits the Default Process Definitions from its Parent Publication.
The following Process Definitions are created for a Publication when it is created:
- Component Process — this is a default Process Definition that can be applied to Components and to Multimedia Components by associating it with a Schema
- Page Process — this is a default Process Definition that can be applied to Pages by associating it with a Structure Group
The following table provides an overview of each of the activities that are defined in the default Process Definitions.
| Name of activity | Description | Approval Status |
|---|---|---|
Create or Edit Content/ Page | The first activity in the process. This activity is invoked when the item is created or updated by anyone. | Default_Draft |
| Review | After an update or creation, the Component or Page is assigned to an Editor for review. | Default_Staging |
| Approve for Publish | The Chief Editor is assigned the Component or Page for review | (none) |
| Process Complete | An automatic activity that completes the processes. | Default_Live |
