Launch a workflow
Use the procedures on this page to manually start the process specified
in a workflow definition. You can launch the workflow either from a document
linked
to that workflow definition, or launch the workflow directly from the
workflow definition file.
Launch from a document
- If you have not already done so, select a document in the CS library,
then click Launch Workflow on the toolbar.
- If the document or its document class is linked to more than one workflow
definition, a Launcher page displays a list of the workflows linked
to the document or document class. Select the workflow to launch, then
click Launch Step Processor.
NOTE
If the document is not linked to a workflow definition, you cannot
select a workflow to run. Only an administrative user can create a
link. See About linking for additional
information.
- On the LaunchStep page, complete any launch tasks, such as entering
values in data fields, then click Launch
to start the workflow.
If the workflow definition has an initiating
attachment, the document you used to launch the workflow is assigned
to the attachment.

CS library, then click Launch Workflow

is assigned to the attachment.
NOTE If
the workflow definition has not been linked to a document or transferred
to the Process Engine,
the launch process validates the workflow definition and transfers it
prior to launch. If errors are detected in the workflow definition, a
message displays and the launch process stops.
