Hi,

If you go to admin/tools/workflows you can setup workflows to automatically start based on a number of conditions, such as when a page is ready to be published in a specific section. Look belows the automatic start tab. If you don't want a user to be able to publish the page you control that by the ordinary access right.

Hope this helps

Hi Peter,

thanks for the reply

OK, I have went through all the workflow - but I cannot get any workflow to start automatically.

For pages - what event are you meant to use - I cannot see an event for "ready to publish".  I have tried Save and publish but neither trigger anything

Also, when I set up a differnt workflow, e.g. for creating folders - I set a sequential workflow for create/delete/move.  I set it to the webAdmins group.  However when a webadmin creates/deletes a folder no workflow is started.

Is there somehting i need to "turn on" to allow automatic workflows to execute?  I have a vanilla install of episerver with 7.1 added.

PageCheckedIn is the event you're looking for if you want to trigger it on "ready to publish". You don't need to do anything else to trigger workflows. Make sure that the user has access and that you have set a start page. 

Thanks again Peter, 

Got it working now, must have been some problem around permissions - really impressed with the workflow.  Quick question though, 

I have set up a parallel workflow that requires 2 approvals.  But if the people I have set up to aprove the content are also publishers, they can simply publish the page which 1. ignores the workflow and 2 makes the workflow invalid.

Is this what you would expect?
