Workflow subscriptions

You can define subscriptions to associate a document class, a folder class, or a custom object class with a workflow definition for automatic or manual 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 is prompted to launch the workflow.

You can optionally design a workflow to copy values from the properties of the launching document to data fields in the workflow. When you do so, the resulting values in the data fields are noted in the event log. If the copy operation is unsuccessful (because of a data type mismatch or NULL value, for example), the error is also noted in the event log.

To configure workflow subscriptions for a class, use the New Subscription wizard. For more information, see Creating a subscription.

Remember: Before you can create a workflow subscription, you must create and transfer a workflow definition.
