Workflow Subscription wizard
You can use the Workflow Subscription wizard to define
subscriptions to associate a document class, a folder class, or a custom object
class with a workflow definition for manual or automatic launching. The subscription
definition determines which events will cause the workflow to launch. For example,
an approval workflow could be launched when a new document is added or when a
new version of the document is checked in. If the subscription is configured
for manually launching the workflow, the user must click on the Launch action in the menu or in the Information Page page and then select the manual workflow to launch.
To create a subscription, you must have the following qualifications:
- You
must have access to a specific workflow definition to use it in a subscription.
- You must be a member of the PWDesigner access role. See Access roles site preferences for information about this site preference.
- You must be a member of a group that was granted access when the Workflow Designer security script was run on the object store. An object store administrator must run the the security script wizard using Enterprise Manager, as described in the Setting the bootstrap properties on first login.
