Assign workflows to resources
You can initiate a workflow for your resources to have them, for example, reviewed, approved, or released, depending on the needs of your company. For sample purposes, TCM Release Process adds a status of TCM Released to your resource. Your system administrator can use this process as a basis to help configure a workflow that suits your needs and associate access permissions based on the status.
To assign a TCM Released status to a resource:
Procedure
Select the resource for which you want to initiate the workflow.
Choose File→New→Workflow Process.
Select TCM Release Process from the Process Template list.
Click OK.
Select the resource and choose Refresh from the shortcut menu.
Results
A flag beside the resource indicates that it has a status, in this case, TCM Released.
