Assigning Workflows to Folders
To have a workflow process invoked for any given asset, the workflow must be assigned at the folder level. Multiple workflows can be assigned to a single folder. When an asset is edited, copied, published, or deleted, the system determines which assigned workflows apply to the user's action and allow the user to select from a list of available workflows.
To attach a workflow to a folder:
- In the home area, use the left asset tree to locate and choose the desired folder.
- Click the Workflow tab.
- Under Workflow Options:
None required - Selecting this button will allow all users to bypass all workflow options.
Inherit from parent folder - If there are workflows assigned to a parent folder, selecting this button will apply those workflow options to the current folder.
Do not inherit - Selecting this will prevent workflows from being inherited from a parent folder, and will allow you to assign workflows at current folder.
Apply to child folders - Checking this box will allow child folders to inherit the workflows set at this folder level. - If you are adding one or more workflows at this level, click the workflow icon next to Add Workflow to open the Workflow chooser.
- Navigate to the desired workflow and click Submit to close the window.
- You may attach additional Workflows if desired.
- Click Submit to save your changes.
