Triggering workflow in Worksite MPwhile content uploading

Sushant

Hi All,
How to trigger a workflow in Worksite MP while uploading/adding an document.
As per the process, when a document gets uploaded, needs review and approval, for that we have defined a workflow. I am unable to integrate this workflow to document updation process.

Please some one help me out...or give me the url where I find sufficient documentation.

Thanx in advance,

Sushant Devata.

Hello, Sushant.

I'm sorry but presently there is no trigger mechanism available to automatically start a workflow process once a document is added to a folder. We're aware of this missing feature and hope to implement it soon. In the meantime, you might be able to simulate this with the following work-around.

You can create a workflow template that brings a document through a review process and, upon successful completion, makes a copy of that document (or moves it) to a destination folder of "published" documents. Normal users should not be permitted to manually add documents to this "published" documents folder, of course. Only your workflow template should be able to do this (using a "deploying" user of sufficient rights). I know that this plan doesn't entirely follow the paradigm you're trying to implement, but I'm hoping it might come close enough.

A few notes: The act of copying/moving WOM objects (such as documents) via a workflow process implies that your workflow template will be using what's called a "Java helper class" to make WOM API calls. Making WOM calls through Java helper classes is discussed in the WorkRoute documentation.

Please let me know what you decide to do. Best of luck!
