Work Order workflow configuration
Workflow option: States
The workflow that is responsible for creating and filling work orders is broken-down into various
stages of completion called S
TATES . Each state is associated with T RANSITIONS (actions) that
advance the work order to the next state (stage of completion).
When S TATES is selected from the W ORKFLOW OPTION drop-down list, the Workflow page
displays the available states that have been defined for the current work order workflow.
The following list identifies the workflow states that are present in the Xmedia Server’s
default workflow. Further details are also available on
page 10-3 .
• START - The work order/job is created.
• P
ENDING - The work order/job has been created, but has not yet been assigned to a user.
• I N P ROGRESS - The work order/job is currently being worked on.
• P ENDING A PPROVAL - The work order/job has been submitted and is awaiting approval.
• C OMPLETE - The work order/job has been approved and is about to be released.
• FINAL - The work order/job is ready to be used.
The following sections provide instructions for tasks for defining the workflow states,
including how to add, remove and edit states:
•
“Adding a new state to the workflow” on page 10-5
• “Editing a state’s properties” on page 10-6
• “Removing a state from the workflow” on page 10-7
Adding a new state to the workflow
To add a new state to the workflow:
1.
Open the Xmedia Server Control Panel and select S TATES from the W ORKFLOW OPTION
drop-down list.
2. Click A DD in the lower-right corner of the Workflow page.
The A DD A S TATE dialog box appears.
3. Type a name for the State in the N AME text box.
4. Type a brief description that identifies the purpose of the state in the D ESCRIPTION text
box.
5. Click A DD .
The state is immediately added to the A VAILABLE S TATES list on the Workflow page, and
it can now be used to define a transition in the workflow (see page 10-11 ).
