I agree - people put more time into finding ways to circumvent workflow that they do working within it.
My CMS has basic Edit>Pending>Approval>Publish (or the alternative Edit>Pending>Rejection>Edit...) and even that is simplified in some of the extending apps where it isn't appropriate (Edit>Publish). There is no quickie solution when it comes to workflow. -----Original Message----- From: Micha Schopman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 15 February 2005 4:58 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Workflow Module / CFC - online examples? Workflow is one of the most difficult things to implement if you are going for the "workflow designer" "activities" "transitions" "conditions" "filters" "automated tasks" "manual tasks" ... way :) What is the type of application like? Is it content management, e procurement, pure data entry? Workflow has a generic model, but businesses often fail in implementing workflow because they are obsessed by business processes, and don't see and handle the usability aspect of it. What issues do you have defining user -> activity -> process relations? Keep in mind, real world examples in Content Management situations have shown a 400% increase of investment and lower return on investment when companies are overdoing workflow. My advice; Keep it simple, straight forward, and userfriendly. If I can't get something to work on Windows I log in as Administrator. Users in a workflow process do the same.
