Workflows

Workflows are used to define the stages (or states) through which other assets go, as well as the transitions between those states. Psoda contains a set of default workflows. These are fairly generic with no restrictions on transitions between states. If you would like to enforce a particular workflow then you have to add alternative workflows within your organisation. Workflows can be added for an organisation, for a particular programme, for a particular product or for a particular project. A workflow will only be “visible” to children of its its parent asset. A workflow can be specific to specific type of asset, a group of asset types or to all assets. You can select the types that a workflow applies to when you add or edit the workflow. A workflow can be in one of the following states:

State	Description
New	The default state for a new workflow.
Modified	The default state when a workflow is modified.
Reviewed	Indicates that the workflow has been reviewed.
Active	Indicates that the workflow is active. This is the only state that the workflow will be “visible” to other children of the workflow’s parent asset.
Suspended	Used to suspend a workflow. In this state the workflow will not be “visible” to other assets.
