Defining the workflow
You define a workflow by selecting a set of workflow actions and defining related properties.
-
Click Select Workflow Stages to select the workflow stages to comprise this workflow.
-
Click Select Reject Stage to select a stage to move an item to when rejected.
-
To require a comment to be entered when an item is approved, select Enter Comment on Approval.
-
Select whether to allow multiple drafts of an item to be created. If not selected, only a single draft of an item can be created at a time. Multiple drafts are enabled by default.
Remember
If the first stage of your workflow includes a publish action, no draft items can be created regardless of what is selected here.
-
Select Allow templated items to be saved in the first draft stage even if the item fails field validation to allow users to save item into a first draft even if they do not pass validation. These errors need to be fixed before the item can be moved to the next workflow stage.
-
Select Disable workflow in projects when you do not want the workflow to be used when an item is added to a project. If selected, any items that use this workflow have a status of draft when added to a project, but are not staged.
-
You must also select the workflow stage that the item is returned to when the project is published.
Important
An item has a status of "published" when the project is published regardless of the workflow stage that is selected here, even if the selected workflow stage does not use a publish action or if the selected workflow stage precedes or follows a workflow stage that contains a publish action.
