Hi,
can someone explain me the meaning of the event types of a workflow? :
- approve
- wait until date
- simple shipping
- multiplexer

I haven't found anything in the documentation.

thanks

Lydie

Hi Lydie,

Approve:
Makes it possible to have the contents of objects be approved by an editor. Good example is in TSCM tutorial in documentation.

Wait until date:
Makes it possible to delay the publishing of objects.

Simple shipping:
Adds shipping costs to orders.

Multiplexer:
Starts other workflows from within a workflow.

I have this problem:
I need to create an approval mechanism for one class (articles). I have other classes that users can use, but these classes dont need a workflow.
I dont know how to configure the workflow. And I try to create a workflow using a multiplexer, but it gives me an error when i try to publish: ezmultiplexer error on line 211. Can someone help me? Thanks...
