  • Request Launch - A workflow the requests a launch.
  • Request Landing Page - This workflow requests a landing page.
  • Request Email - Workflow for requesting an email.
  • DAM Create and Translate Copy and DAM Create Language Copy - Creates translated binaries, metadata, and tags for assets and folders.

Depending on which Project template you select, you have certain workflows available:

Request Launch x
Request Landing Page x
Request Email x
DAM Create Language Copy* x
DAM Create and Translate Language Copy* x
NOTE

* These workflows are not started from the Workflow tile in Projects. See Creating Language Copies for Assets.

The steps for starting and completing workflows are the same no matter which workflow you choose. Only the steps change.

You start a workflow directly in Projects (except for DAM Create Language Copy or DAM Create and Translate Language Copy). Information on any outstanding tasks in a project are listed in the Tasks tile. Notifications for tasks that need to be completed appear next to the user icon.
