PLC workflow diagram needed

A manager here requested a diagram of the out-of-the-box Publish LiveSite Content workflow. The product documentation doesn't seem to include it. No, I can't just tell the manager to go open this workflow via the Workflow Modeler :-).

We are using TeamSite 7.3.1. Ideally, someone would make available a Visio file which we could update with our customizations :-).

Thanks,

S.

Can't that "someone" be you? Smiley Tongue

I've done things like this numerous times - but that's something I get paid to do - and not something I just hand out on DevNet - mostly because I don't do it all in one picture, I use multiple pictures and a lot of descriptive text (i.e.: documentation)

Yes - it would be nice if that information was provided in the manuals - feel free to file a DOC BUG with Support - but if you want something soon (like within this decade) - you'll just have to do it yourself. Or wait for someone else to feel kind enough to give away several hours of work for free.

Can't you just open it with Workflow modeler and do a screen capture? If it does not fit on one screen there is always snagit...

Have you looked at the PLC in WFM? It's a mess OOTB.
You could drag things around to make it look a bit "cleaner" - but ultimately, because it shows everything (error handler transitions, timeout transitions, etc.) it is a difficult-to-read diagram.

That's why I use tools like OmniGraffle (Mac Visio-type program, better IMO) to diagram the model in pieces / to separate out all the error transitions so that the "real" flow can be more easily seen and understood.

However, if you think your "customer" (manager, boss, whatever) will be okay with a screenshot of the WFM - by all means, do that.
