Introduction to Workflows
The Purpose of a Workflow
Cascade Server ensures that content entered into the system is quality checked using a serious of approval steps known as a workflow. Workflows can be customized or created from scratch to suit any business needs.Workflow Participants
The roll each Cascade Server user plays in the workflow process is proscribed by the system role each user is given. All users, from Contributor on up, may initiate a workflow when he or she creates or edits an asset. A higher-level user, such as an Approver, will then review the asset and choose whether it will move onto the next step in the workflow process. A Publisher may then publish the asset to the live site. Managers and Administrators may also have these capabilities in addition to the ability to bypass and edit workflows in progress.
Importance of Workflows
Workflows are a valuable component of Cascade Server, as they provide a customizable, automated means for content to be checked multiple times by multiple trusted users before appearing to the public. The resulting diversity of input ensures that your content is accurate and, therefore, presented in a professional manner.
