Apply workflows to process assets

Applying workflows to digital assets is the same as for website pages. For a complete guide on how to create and use workflows, see start workflows.

Use workflows in digital assets to activate the asset or create watermarks. Many of the workflows for assets are automatically turned on. For example, the workflow that automatically creates a rendition after an image is edited is automatically turned on.

NOTE
If a workflow available in Classic UI is not available in Touch-enabled UI such as Request to Activate and Request to Deactivate, see make workflow models.

To apply a workflow to an asset, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the location of the asset for which you want to start a workflow, and click the asset to open the asset page. Select Timeline from the menu to display the timeline.

  2. Click Actions at the bottom to open the list of actions available for the asset.

  3. Click Start Workflow from the list.

  4. In the Start Workflow dialog, select a workflow model from the list.

  5. (Optional) Specify a title for the workflow that can be used to refer the workflow’s instance.

    select workflow, provide a title and click start

  6. Click Start and then click Proceed. Each step of workflow is displayed in the timeline as an event.
