Comala Workflows add page workflow automatically

[Marketa Dvorackova]

Hi,

I know that there is a possibility to add a workflow to a page Blueprint, but working with just page Templates, I need to decide that a certain template will produce a document which will be following  a certain workflow.

I was wondering if there is a way to add a workflow to a page in some way automatically, like writing a custom macro which will make a call somewhere to add the workflow when the page doesn't have any associated. Is there any way? Letting the user decide which workflow the document should follow is not the best. They might just not do it and we need more control.

Thank you for any tips.

Hi Marketa,

There is no need for special macros or anything, our attach to blueprint functionality automates what can still be done manually by adding a label into the page template and using that label in the workflow with the label parameter you found.

For more details, see our answer to this post in our support forums: https://comalatech.zendesk.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202105938-Multiple-workflows-on-the-same-Space

Thanks,

Hi @Miguel Reimer

two things:

• This solution seems to expect that you're working on blueprints
  (rather than page templates)
• The supplied link seems to be dead ("Help Center closed")

@Marketa Dvorackova:

You might either

• insert a hint for the user to add a specific workflow after creating the page
• do a "one workflow per space" approach:
  • Create a space and apply the workflow to all pages therein
  • implement the page workflow in this space

Maybe the workflow label parameter could help? Adding a specific label to a page produced by a certain template and setting the workflow to work on pages labeled this way?
