Overview

Use the {read-ack} macro to add read confirmation functionality your workflow (from Comala Document Management v6.0.0+)

Where to use it?

Within a workflow macro.

The {read-ack} macro can be used in two ways:

In a {workflow} macro with a final state - provide read confirmation functionality when the content is in a final state
In a {workflow} macro with no states - provide read confirmation functionality without an approval workflow. Workflow parameters and filters can be used to determine which content should have a read confirmation (from Comala Document Management v6.5.0+)
