Bloomreach Documentation version

This article covers a Bloomreach Experience Manager version 13. There's an updated version available that covers our most recent release.

Project Workflow

This Bloomreach Experience Manager feature requires a standard or premium license. Please contact Bloomreach for more information.

The Workflow Process Management add-on adds the Projects feature to Bloomreach Experience Manager. This page describes the states and available actions of the Project workflow.

The following diagram shows the Project states and the available actions.

An action is enabled when the following additional preconditions are met:

Notes:

  • The roles shorhands are ad: admin, we: webmaster, ed: editor, sys: system (not a user role).
  • The state Deleting is currently not persisted (yet) to the repository so you will never observe a project in this state.

When a review is requested the system will start a review process in the BPM engine. The id of this process is stored in the repository as the externalId on the project.
