Printing out an Approved Confluence page for archiving

John_fchoxt

Hello,

I am about to promote the use of Comala workflows as a documentation management system for the Project Managers at my job. Before I can do this I have to demonstrate that it's possible to print signed documents (the Confluence page) with all Approvals embedded. This use case stems from the need to comply with a Records Retention policy that requires PDFs of signed project artefacts be stored on archived media for seven years.

In my tests, the Confluences pages that use Comala workflows are printed out without any eSignature. Is there a way to force the printing of the workflow reviews, perhaps in a footer page of the document?

Thanks

Hello @John,

This is possible. The easiest way to include this is to use the markup editor (https://wiki.comalatech.com/display/CDML/Markup+Editor+in+workflow+builder) and test the following markup:

{workflow:name=Approval in Footer}
{pagefooter:visibility=all}
----
h1. Approval status
|| Document Status |{pagestatus}|
|| Approved By |{get-metadata:approvedby}|
|| Approval Date/Time |{get-metadata:approveddate}|
|| Approval Comment |{get-metadata:approvalcomment}
{pagefooter}
{state:In Progress|approved=Approved|taskable=true}
{approval:Review|assignable=true}
{state}
{state:Approved|final=true|updated=In Progress|hideselection=true}
{state}
{trigger:pageapproved|approval=Review}
@{set-metadata:approvedby}@Review>approvers>wiki-link@{set-metadata}
@{set-metadata:approveddate}@datetime@{set-metadata}
@{set-metadata:approvalcomment}@approvalcomment@{set-metadata}
{trigger}
{workflow}
