Edit the workflow using workflow builder

Editing the workflow using workflow builder

You can use workflow builder to:

  • edit the workflow name and description.

  • disable/enable read confirmation for the final state.

  • add parameters and their values.

  • add workflow triggers using markup

  • configure the display of the progress tracker bar in the workflow popup.

  • add a content label filter to control the application of a space workflow to specific content.

  • set the type of content to add and apply the workflow (pages, blog posts or both).



Workflow editor in workflow builder

Choose the workflow name in the workflow panel to edit the workflow (or select the Workflow lozenge in the Navigator panel).

Use the workflow editor to amend/add the

  • workflow name (required)

  • workflow description (optional)

  • the content label filter for the application of the workflow based on the content labels (optional)

The Advanced menu allows you to configure the workflow further.

Sticky labels

  • use Sticky labels to set one or more labels that only admin users can remove from the page

Content types

  • set the type of content the workflow will be applied to (pages, blog posts or both)

     

By default, both these checkboxes are checked and a workflow is added and applied to both pages and blog posts.

If only one content type option is checked and you wish to change the content type the workflow is applied to, simply check the desired content type before unchecking the one that is not required.

Workflow builder will not allow both these checkboxes to be unchecked at the same time.

Options

  • enabling/disabling the display of the progress tracker in the workflow popup on the content

You can also check Update {status} macro option to allow the workflow to update the Comala Page Status macro (if added to the page).

Add a trigger to a workflow using the workflow editor

The Advanced menu also allows you to add the markup for triggers.

Each trigger added to a workflow is displayed as a Rules for the workflow.

The workflow builder will display the context of each Rule added.

Rules can only be amended by editing the trigger markup.

Workflow states can be edited by choosing an individual state in the workflow panel.
