Quality Management System workflowrequires v5.2.0+
com.comalatech.workflow.repository.categories.label: Document Management|Systems Development Life Cycle

-

This workflow implements a QMS workflow for document management.

  • the workflow will be applied to content with the qms_approval label
  • the (stickylabel) label cannot be removed 

Remember to create a Confluence group for the approvers of the controlled document and ensure that the the source space is linked to a publishing space.

The workflow can be amended to use a workflow parameter for the approval group rather than creating a specific globally managed Confluence group.

In the updated QMS workflow, e-signature process (if enabled) has been amended to require a user email and a one-time password token generated using a third party 2-Factor Authorization app.
