Example Workflow Templates

---

The templates in iw‑home/local/config/wft/examples are included as reference examples that are applicable to some installations. The functionality provided by these examples is included in a more generalized form in the work_order.wft template. The templates in the examples directory are provided as shorter, more modular examples of how you can develop custom workflow templates.

To make the example files available to end-users, you must edit available_templates.cfg as described in available_templates.cfg.

The following example templates reside in iw‑home/local/config/wft/examples:

Template Name	Description
cgi_task_test.wft	Example workflow template that demonstrates the functionality of a cgitask. Uses iw-home/httpd/iw-bin/sample_cgi_task.ipl.
concurrent_approval.wft	Same as serial_approval.wft, except the reviewers review content in parallel.
external_task_test.wft	Example workflow template that demonstrates the functionality of a cgitask. Uses iw-home/local/config/wft/examples/sample_external_task.ipl
serial_approval.wft	Lets Editors, Administrators, and Masters assign a task to a content contributor and specify one or more users as the approvers.

You should examine each .wft file for details about its construction and the features of the job it defines. After examining each file, you can choose to use it as is, or modify it for your specific installation using the information from Workflow Template File Structure.
