The Approval groups view in the Workflow section lists the Name of the active groups, Group members, their Permissions, and a quick link to Email the group.
To add an approval group, follow these steps:
You can create a total of 5 groups on unlicensed installations. The paid license removes this restriction.
You can search for a specific group using the Search bar. Select a group from the list to edit its Settings, Roles, Members, and view the group's History.
SettingsThe Settings tab consists of the following fields:
You can optionally provide Groups permission to action workflow tasks without logging in to Umbraco. This feature requires a paid license. By enabling Offline Approval, on the Edit group view, all email notifications sent to members of the group will include a personalized link to a preview page.
The preview page exposes the current saved page with the options to approve or reject the change. It is not possible to edit the content from the offline approval view.
This feature is useful where the approval group membership is a single user who does not use Umbraco. For example, a manager may want to approve media releases before publishing but does not otherwise need access to Umbraco.
Offline approval requires a user to exist in the Backoffice and be assigned to a workflow group. They do not need to know how to use Umbraco or even know their login credentials.
RolesThe Roles tab provides an overview of the current workflow roles for the Group:
You can set these Roles in the Workflow Settings section. For more information, see the Workflow Settings article.
MembersThe Members tab manages the membership for the given user group. Add members to approval groups to determine which member will be responsible for approving content changes. Group Members can be explicitly added to the group or can inherit group membership from an existing Umbraco group. Ideally, group members are set explicitly to ensure changes made to Umbraco groups do not cause unexpected changes to workflow permissions.
To add a Group member, follow these steps:
Go to the Workflow section.
Click on Approval groups.
Select a group from the list to edit its Members.
Go to the Members tab.
Click Add in the Group members section.
Select the Users you want to add to the approval group.
Click Save Group.
To inherit an existing Umbraco group membership, follow these steps:
Go to the Workflow section.
Click on Approval groups.
Select a group from the list to edit its Members.
Go to the Members tab.
Click Add in the Inherited group membership section.
Select the User groups you want to add to the approval group.
Click Save Group.
The History tab provides an overview of the workflow activity for the current group. It displays a table containing the Page name with the Language variant, Type of workflow roles (Node-based approvals or Document type approvals), workflow requested by, the date the workflow was requested, comment, and status of the workflow.
You can also Filter the records based on the Node, Requested by, Created date, Completed date, Page Language, Workflow Type, and Workflow Status. Additionally, you can adjust the total number of records displayed on a page.
The Detail button at the end of the record displays an overlay with content similar to the Active workflow sub-section.
