Information

Workflows are integral to working with a PIM, where passing data between various users and other systems is at the heart of its operation. Workflows help regulate and control the transfer of data and ascertain the state of progress of enriching products with data.

It is now possible to define multiple workflows, each associated with a language previously selected under Settings -> Language Inheritance. Only one workflow per language is possible, however, a workflow can be assigned to many languages.

To create a workflow, navigate to the Workflows segment on the Side Menu, then click on the New Workflow button displayed on the top right corner of the new page.

This will bring up a new window asking you to specify a system name for the new workflow (which must be unique) and to set a default status products created within this new workflow will assume after they are made. This can be chosen from all statuses currently present in the system.

When you set the new workflow’s Workflow code (system name) and the Default status for new products, you can either simply CREATE the workflow and move on to another task or click CREATE & EDIT to be moved to the edition view.

To edit workflow click on the edit icon, to delete it click on the bin icon.

When you click on the edit icon or if you choose to CREATE & EDIT during the workflow creation process, you will be moved to workflow edit mode where you will find two tabs; General and Designer.

Workflow can be used in the kanban system view on the product page.
