Standard Workflow Configurations for CM
Some Content Manager actions require a workflow configuration within the DPE Workflow System.
There are two types of workflows:
BACKGROUND related workflows, which are set up by administrators and run in the background.
USER ACTION related workflows, which are triggered by user actions, e.g. Drop an entry to another table.
All Workflow templates can be imported via the WebAdmin's template tab, see Procedure for Configuring Standard Workflows.
Depending on what options are enabled in the Content Manager (Base or Production), different workflows templates are available:
Content Manager Base
The following workflows are available for all Content Manager setups.
AudioLoResOnTheFly Workflow BACKGROUND
AudioLoResOnTheFly workflow creates the LoRes for an existing Audio. The workflow is triggered automatically when an audio entry without any LoRes is played.
