Outstanding features of My Content & Workflow
Notification
An important part of Workflow system is Notification. When there are two action occur;
- author created Article which already sent Approval request or
- article that need a versioning progress.
But what if user cannot approve articles to use on website, they have to wait for higher user with access power such as publisher to deal with it. In this case, publisher should be noticed right away if there are any request made. Notification tools would be useful and help ease up burden of publisher to monitored all day, it is the best choice for the work process. Anyway, it should set with care to work properly.
- Send to publisher user : Choose Yes to sent message for approve content or content update to all user who can edit state. (You can revised each group authority at tab permission setting in My Content & workflow or Category permissions setting)
