First thing’s first. Let’s start by looking at the tools that you will be using to set up and configure your workflows.
Go to Administration Admin Applets| and launch Workflow Admin. The Workflow Admin application comes up (as shown in the following screenshot):
There are three tabs:
Let’s create a simple automatic workflow. I call it automatic because content enters the workflow automatically when it is modified or created.
If you will be using e-mail notifications then be sure to check your Internet Configuration screen in Admin Server.
I’ll walk you through the steps in using automatic workflows.
Here’s the process for creating a criteria workflow:
Follow these steps:
Please note that a content item must match at least two conditions to enter the workflow: it must belong to the same security group as the workflow, and it must match the criteria of the workflow.
As soon as a new content item is created with Security Group of accounting and Content Account value is set to accounting/payable/current, it will enter our workflow.
It will not enter the workflow if its metadata is simply updated to these values. It takes a new check-in for an item to enter a criteria workflow.
If you need it to enter a workflow after a metadata update then consider custom components available from the Fishbowl Solutions (www.fishbowlsolutions.com).
You can use any metadata field and value pair as criteria for entering the workflow. But you can only have one condition. What if that’s not enough?
If you need to perform additional checks before you can accept the item in a workflow then keep your criteria really open, and do your checks in the workflow itself. I’ll show you how, later in this article.
The diagram next illustrates how a content item flows through a criteria workflow. You may find it useful to refer back to it as you follow the steps in this lab.
OK. We have a workflow created but there’re two problems with it: it has no steps in it and it is disabled. Let’s begin by seeing how to add workflow steps.
Here’s how you add workflow steps:
But first, you need to enable the workflow.
