Workflows

A workflow is a series of review activities for submitted material prior to its public publication. Currently we have three available:

• a default workflow, where if a depositor has permissions may publish a work without mediation

• a one-step mediated workflow, where a depositor must have the work approved by a reviewer

• a two-step mediated workflow, where a depositor must have the work approved by two reviewer groups

Most campuses use the default workflow.

For mediated deposits, a user will deposit to an administrative set with an assigned workflow. For one and two-step mediated workflows, after a user has submitted a work, groups assigned for a review step will receive notifications for changes in activity. They can also access the Review Submissions tab to review the submission status for works deposited in the repository.

The videos below demonstrate a campus manager reviewing, and then requesting additional changes from a depositor.

The depositor has received a notification, makes corrections according to comments, then submits the work back to the campus manager for approval.

Now that the deposit is complete, the reviewer approves the submission.

This completes the workflow for a single step deposit.

For two-step deposits, an additional step may be sent to other groups for final review. This workflow allows for the work to be sent to the first approval group, may add comments, and may also approve the deposit.
