Workflow Fields

· ·
kratib - February 3, 2007 - 12:51

The workflow_fields module extends John VanDyk's workflow module by
allowing CCK node fields to be made invisible or read-only depending on
the current workflow state. The workflow state form is extended to
show all node fields with appropriate controls to hide and/or disable
each field for that particular state.

This functionality is useful when a workflow moves among users who
have different permissions regarding the document flowing through them.
Which is the case in most every workflow we've encountered.

USAGE

* When the module is enabled, the "Edit workflow state" page is augmented with a list of fields that correspond to the content types using the workflow. You can specify whether each field should be visible or read-only, per user role, when the node's workflow is in that particular state. The visibility flag applies to both the view and edit pages of the node.

* The workflow state can potentially contain lots of checkboxes. To ease the task of selection, you can use browser extensions such as Check All for Firefox that lets you highlight the boxes on the page, then check/uncheck them all using the context menu.
