Add a topic workflow configuration

Sometimes, organizations use only one topic workflow configuration. You can add a blank topic workflow configuration that includes a minimal design for topic workflow. Or, you can define the fields, workflow states, user access levels, e-mail notification rules, and templates.

Alternatively, Oracle Empirica Signal provides a Sample Topic Workflow Configuration which you can use as a starting point for a new topic workflow configuration.

1. In the left navigation pane, click the Settings icon ().
2. In the Configure System section, click Manage Topic Workflow Configurations.
3. Click Add Workflow Configuration.
4. Enter a name and a description for the topic workflow configuration.
   • If a topic workflow configuration was deleted by reference only, it is retained in the database and you cannot create a new configuration with the same name.
   • The description for the topic workflow configuration can be up to 1,000 characters.
5. Click Save.
6. (Recommended) Test the topic workflow configuration before you assign it to a login group. To test, do the following:
   1. Set your user preference for Topic Workflow Configuration to the new configuration.

      Note:

      Only users with the Manage Topic Workflow Configurations permission can set this preference.
   2. Log out and log back in.
   3. Click the Topics page to add and edit topics that use the new configuration.
   4. When you are finished, assign the topic workflow configuration to the login group.
