Workflow

Workflow feature that will allow content administrators to define and implement their own content publishing processes and permissions.

  1. It would come in handy when workflow can be
    - used for approving category creation.
    - used for Sending Office parts like tasks/mails/calendar items to specific users.
    - used for Sending custom mail item's to specific persons or initiator of the workflow triggerd by the change, creation or deletion of an object. (Microsoft CRM has this quite well worked out! Only thing they miss is starting a custom made script triggered by an custom event).

    Hope these features will be included ;)

    Kind regards,

  2. Just a quick note about workflow ... adding the concept of article owners and article statuses will support a variety of workflows. Allowing admins to create custom statuses will provide even more workflow variety.

    Thank you for your suggestions. The upcoming v5.3 that is going to be released in the nearest time is on the test stage and we cannot add more features to it now, but v5.4 will be dedicated to Workflow in full. In will include full-functional workflow system that will also have features you've suggested.

  4. We have started using the simple workflow in 5.2.2 and feedback from the Editors is that they would like an additional tab on the home page that lists all the articles for them to publish.

    To inform the Editors about which articles are ready for review, another button on the articles themselves, which submits the articles for publishing would add the articles to the tab on the editors page.

    Thanks,
    Shweta

    Starting from v5.2.1, KMP supports Simple Workflow system. New articles created by authors (users that do not have publishing permission) are not shown to end users immediately. They are waiting for approval by content moderators. After moderator checks an article he may publish it in one click and thus make it publicly accessible.
