First thing's first. Let's start by looking at the tools that you will be using to set up and configure your workflows.
Go to Administration | Admin Applets and launch Workflow Admin. The Workflow Admin application comes up (as shown in the following screenshot):
There are three tabs:
Workflows: This tab is used for administering Basic or Manual Workflows. We will be covering them later in this chapter.
Criteria: This tab deals with Automatic or Criteria Workflows—the type we will be using most often.
Templates: This is the place where you can pre-assemble Workflow Templates—reusable pieces that you can use to create new basic workflows.
Let's create a simple automatic workflow. I call it automatic because content enters the workflow automatically when it is modified or created.
Note
If you will be using e-mail notifications then be sure to check your Internet Configuration screen in Admin Server. See Chapter 2, Major Controls...
