Associating Workflows with Schemas

Prerequisites:

Users with permissions can associate a workflow with a particular page, component, or asset schema. If you make this association, pages conforming to the schema enter the designated workflow, automatically.

To associate a workflow with a schema:
  1. Navigate to Administration > Schema Designer > Management.
  2. Choose one of the following steps:
    • Click New in the Actions menu. Enter the required fields and click Save.
      Note
      To select workflows for new schemas, save the schema.
    • Double-click an existing schema.
  3. Click the expand arrow to open additional configurations for the schema. Scroll to the Workflow Configuration area below the Taxonomy Configuration area.

    Expand Arrow

  4. Select the appropriate workflow to associate with the schema in the Choose Workflow drop-down list.
    Note
    If you create a schema, workflow names don't populate the Choose Workflow drop-down list until you save and reopen Schema Designer.

  5. Click Save in the Schema Actions menu when you finish. The Save Schema dialog displays.

  6. Choose one of the following steps:
    • Click Save Draft. Schema Designer saves the schema as a draft.
      Note
      If you save the schema as a draft, then workflow configurations don't apply to new pages, components, or assets that use this schema. Save the draft as a new version to apply configurations.
    • Click Save new version. Schema Designer saves the schema as a new version.
