Workflows allow us to set up tasks that have reviewer users and members assigned to them. They also provide the tools for completing the tasks within the workflow itself. For example, a workflow to create new pages for new products would be assigned to an appropriate member of the staff, with their manager as the reviewer user. When the user starts the task, the Create new page option within the product page will automatically open.
The workflow also contains information on what should happen to the task on completion. We could set it so that once work for the workflow has been reviewed and finalized it is then transferred to a live state.
Let us create a workflow to assign users to add more information to the Service Center page of our TYPO3 site.
Note
In this example workflow, we require two back-end user groups. The groups Editors and Content Writers have been used in this example. You should first create these groups, using Chapter 6 as a reference.
