Create Workflows

You can build workflows in your Govstack content management system (CMS) to create single or multi-level approvals for publishing content nodes, such as web pages and news posts.

You need to have access to the 'Workflow' section in the Govstack CMS main menu in order to add or configure workflows.

Before creating a workflow, you will need to have your approval groups set up.

Create a member group

To create a workflow in your Govstack CMS, you need to:

1. Select the target node in the content tree. This could be a web page, a news post, or almost anything that requires publishing.
2. Select the 'Workflow' app
3. Select 'Configuration'. This is usually the default view so you may not see any change. 
4. Select 'Add' in the 'Content approval flow' section
5. From the 'Add workflow approval group/s' slide out, select the approval groups to use in your workflow. For a single level of approval select one approval group. For multi-level approvals select multiple groups.
6. If you are creating a multi-level workflow drag and drop the approval groups into the desired order. To publish a page each group will have to approve in sequence, starting at the top of the list.
7. Select 'Save'

The member group will now be available to assign to specific areas of your website and add new members to.
