For the added space workflow a space admin can configure the workflow to
The Document Control dashboard also includes utilities to
Space Document Control dashboard
choose Space settings in the Confluence sidebar
in Manage pages select the Document Control option
The Document Control dashboard will display the current workflow for the space and the Space Workflow Configuration and Utilities options.
Change the workflow in the space
Within the space settings of a given space, you can select from three available workflows to apply to the space:
Check this page to get more information about these workflows.
A single workflow can be added to the space settings Document Control workflows dashboard.
Once added to the dashboard you can choose to enable or disable the application of the workflow across the space content.
a workflow is added as inactive
moving the tick slider on (green) or off (grey) will enable or deactivate the current workflow
When the selected workflow is enabled it is added and applied on every page and blog post in the space.
To select a different workflow, simply click the Change Workflow button.
Choose the workflow you would like to add to the space Document Control dashboard from the Add workflow picker.
Choose Apply to replace the current workflow with the workflow chosen in the workflow picker.
Set Parameters
If the current workflow includes a workflow parameter, a space admin can set the value for the workflow parameter(s) for the currently active workflow using the Set Parameters button.
The displayed parameters are
the Expiration parameter if the Content Expiry Workflow is the active workflow
the Document User Reviewers and Document Group Reviewers parameters if the bundled Quality Management System Workflow is the active workflow
The parameter value will be used by the workflow when a workflow event retrieves the parameter value.For example, when the space workflow is active in the space and a new page is created.
Changing the parameter value does not automatically update the value on the content until an event occurs in the workflow on the content that checks the parameter value and retrieves any updated value.
Settings
Remove restrictions
When content transitions to the workflow final state, the workflow can be set to remove all view and edit restrictions for all users and groups.
Remove restrictions option is only displayed if the space workflow is enabled
Utilities
Reindex Workflows
The option Reindex Workflows should be used whenever a space is imported.
As this action cannot be undone, so be careful before choosing the Ok, reindex Workflows button in the confirmation dialog box.
If the reindex is not undertaken after an import has been completed, Comala Document Control workflows may not work on the added pages and workflow history may display document states as 'not initialized'.
If the space workflow is disabled, the Reindex Workflows option is the only workflow utility displayed.
Initialize states
A space admin can choose to initialize the workflow state for the active space workflow applied to the content in the space.
Choose one of the workflow states from the dropdown menu to set the space workflow to a specific state in the currently active space workflow.
When a workflow is first applied, and before any action has occurred (such as a transition) the applied workflow is considered to be “unprocessed”. It is these “unprocessed” workflows that will be initialized by default when choosing to Initialize states.
To set all the content in the space to the same state, in the confirmation dialog box check the Override preexisting states checkbox.
Initialize states option is only displayed when the space workflow is enabled
Clear Document Activity
The option CLEAR deletes the workflow document activity for every page and post in the space and resets the workflow state to the initial workflow state of the enabled space workflow.
This action cannot be undone so be careful before choosing the Ok, clear Document Activity button in the confirmation dialog box.
The Clear Document Activity option is only displayed when the space workflow is enabled.
