The following diagram shows the steps a business user typically performs to create an asset and publish it to a Web site. It follows the pattern of a project that uses the default three-task Standard workflow that is provided with the system.
Task | Description |
|---|---|
Author | Begins as soon as the new project is created. During the Author task, the user can add assets to the project and edit them. When asset work is complete, the user selects Ready for Review from the Actions list in the Tasks tab. The Author task is considered completed, and the workflow moves to the next task. |
Review | Typically assigned to an editor or manager in charge of content review. The task has two possible outcomes: Reject, and Approve Content. If the reviewer selects Reject, the project returns to the Author task for additional updates. If the reviewer selects Approve Content, the workflow progresses to the next task. |
Deploy | (Displays in the ATG Business Control Center as Deploy Now or Later). Begins after the reviewer selects Approve Content. Deploying a project copies all the assets in the project to a Web site, and it is typically assigned to a manager or administrator. For information on the Deploy task, refer to the ATG Content Administration Programming Guide |
The action and outcome labels shown above, such as Author and Review, are the default labels for the Standard workflow. These labels might be reconfigured for your site, and can also change depending on the workflow in use.
