Workflow
Cascade Server ensures that content entered into the system is quality checked by mandating that the entered content go through a series of approval steps. These steps can be configured through the web interface.
A workflow, then, is simply a grouping of these steps. A step might have a name such as "Managerial Approval", "Final Approval", and/or "Re-Edit". These steps are connected by actions that provide a pathway for moving from one step to another step. Note that one step may have multiple actions leading out of it.
Once the workflow moves to a step with no other actions leading out of it, the workflow is considered to be complete/finished. The asset associated with the workflow is then no longer to be considered in workflow any longer and is returned to a normal state.
The workflows are managed in the Administration area of the application and are defined as XML.
