Facts read from this source
-
Approval flow types Report an error
“Flow type - Determines the approval flow progress. These options manage how the Change Author is included in the workflow: Explicit - All steps of the workflow must be completed, and all users will be notified of tasks (including the Change Author). Implicit - All steps where the original Change Author is not a member of the group must be completed.”
-
Approval thresholds Report an error
“Approval threshold - Sets the global approval threshold to One, Most, or All: One - Pending task requires approval from any member of the assigned approval group. This is the default behavior for all installations (trial and licensed).”
-
Document type approval flows licensed Report an error
“Configure default workflows that should be applied to all content nodes of the selected Document Type. This feature requires a license.”
-
Exclude nodes licensed Report an error
“Nodes and their descendants selected here are excluded from the workflow process and will be published as per the configured Umbraco user permissions. This feature requires a license.”
-
Settings location Report an error
“When working with Umbraco Workflow, you can handle the content approval settings directly in the Backoffice from the Settings section.”
-
Lock active content Report an error
“Lock active content - Determines how the content in a workflow should be managed. Set to true or false depending on whether the approval group responsible for the active workflow step should make modifications to the content. Content is locked after the first approval in the workflow - until then, the content can be edited as normal.”
-
Allow attachments Report an error
“Allow attachments - Provide an attachment (such as a supporting document or enable referencing a media item) when initiating a workflow.”
-
Allow scheduling Report an error
“Allow scheduling - Provides an option to select a scheduled date when initiating a workflow.”
-
Unpublish workflow Report an error
“Use workflow for unpublish - Determines if unpublish actions require workflow approval. Set to true to add a Request unpublish option to the Request publish button menu.”
-
Mandatory comments Report an error
“Mandatory comments - Set to true to require comments when approving workflows. Comments are always required when submitting changes for approval, and are always optional for admin users.”
-
New node approval flow Report an error
“All new nodes use this workflow for initial publishing. You can add, edit, or remove an approval group to/from the workflow.”
-
Reminders schedule Report an error
“Reminders are sent using Umbraco's internal task scheduler, every 24 hours after an initial delay.”
-
Rejection resets approvals Report an error
“Rejection resets approvals - When true, and the approval threshold is Most or All, rejecting a task resets the previous approvals for the workflow stage.”
-
Extend permissions Report an error
“Extend permissions - Determines if Umbraco Workflow should extend or replace the users' save and publish permissions. The default behavior is to replace the users' permissions.”
-
Require publish for initiate Report an error
“Require publish for initiate - Determines the minimum user permission for initiating a workflow process. The default (false) behaviour requires the user have permission to update the entity. When true, the user must have permission to publish the entity to be able to submit for workflow approval. This setting was added in 18.0.1, defaulting to the legacy behaviour (requiring update permission only).”
-
Notifications settings fields Report an error
“Workflow email: Provide a sender address for email notifications. This is a mandatory field. Reminder delay (days): Set a delay in days for sending reminder emails for outstanding workflow processes. Set to 0 to disable reminder emails.”
-
Culture specific templates Report an error
“Templates named with a culture suffix, such as ApprovalRequest_da-DK.cshtml, are still used for recipients whose language differs from the site's default language. Templates are localized at render time, so culture-specific templates are no longer needed.”
