Workflows


What is a Workflow?
Workflows allow groups, (classes, departments, committees, clubs, etc.), to work together on files.  Tasks can be assigned to group members through a workflow to direct materials to those who need them when they need them.  The creator of the workflow can monitor the status of each group member.  When each member completes their part of the assignment, their revisions and comments can be seen by all members of the group.


Examples of Uses
  • Instructors working on the curriculum for a class or program can divide the work and view shared resources.  Content could even be shared with other faculty outside the college.
     
  • A committee or workgroup member can create a workflow to send a document to all of the members of the group to be reviewed.  The workflow will allow all members of the group to see who has viewed and approved the document.  Comments can be viewed by all committee members and any others to whom permission is granted.

 

Tutorials

Note: 
If you do not already have Flash Player installed on your computer, you will need to download it before viewing the animations.  The animations are best viewed at a screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher; if your resolution is 800x600, you will have to scroll to see the entire image.  A control bar at the bottom of the page will allow you to pause, rewind, and replay each animation if needed.  The tutorials should be viewed in order as each builds upon the previous one.
