Developing a workflow stategy
The IBM® Workplace Web Content Management™ application uses workflows to control the access to, verification and eventual approval of Web Content Management items. Only if an item is approved at all stages up to a published stage can it be viewed on your web site.
Reasons to use a workflow include:
- to review the accuracy of content
- to review content for any legal implications
- to review content to ensure it meets accessibility guidelines
- to ensure that no malicious code such as cross scripting attacks have been added to content
If an item is rejected at any stage, it is corrected or amended and then resubmitted to the selected workflow (for approval). All items that are rejected (regardless of the stage they are at in the approval process) are sent back to the first stage of a workflow.
