<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I have a question regarding
workflow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>There is an intention to
implement, inside OpenCms core, 3rd party workflow engine (jBpm probably –
v8 in core).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>(<a
href="http://opencms-wiki.org/Workflow_using_third_party_workflow_engines">http://opencms-wiki.org/Workflow_using_third_party_workflow_engines</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>There is already some really small
workflow (not actually workflow but some kind of so to say) which is
notification.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>(<a
href="http://opencms-wiki.org/Workflow_in_core_OpenCms">http://opencms-wiki.org/Workflow_in_core_OpenCms</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I realized when i use a generic
Workflow Module for integration</span>, a states (workflow state) are
represented as a Project in which the document is a part of.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Meaning, when i need to change the
state of the document i have to copy document into other project for which is
defined some state. (project i.e. „Online“ or „Offline“)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>(Note: The project is used for
assigning the rights for some users to limit user’s access. Or is there any
other meaningful use?)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>So my question is:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#1F497D'>In future implementation remains
this behaviour of the workflow module same??<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#1F497D'>What is the intention (the
goal) of Workflow integration while it‘s using the Project for its
states? </span></b><span style='color:#1F497D'> (Meaning change the state of
the document or also have some workflow systém imide cms).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#1F497D'>Is there any sophisticated reason
to use a Project as a state or it is just the simplest way how to integrate 3rd
party workflow???<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>(Since i don’t see any
point why to use a project as a workflow state).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Because it is not so much user-friendly
(for our users) to create, for instance 6 projects, and change or import
document to the project for that user who is intended to use it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>We have implemented extension of
notification module, where we add some note and some states of the document before
publishing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>It uses „Responsible“
flag on user’s rights to send email to those user’s (like in
notification module after publish the doc).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Of course this is very limited
to do just this for now. Please, get it as an example since i don’t get
why it uses a project as a workflow state (meaning workflow module).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>BR,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
