Workflow Status in Document List

[blade]

Hi,

I can't find documentations, I hope you help me.

I would like to show in Document List the Workflow Status.

I started Workflow on document: in the first the document is in "Review Task".

In the Document List I would like to show "Review Task"

Or, if the document is "Approved" it will show "Document Approved"

Is it possible?

Hi Stefania,

To reach your goal you have to split the use case in smaller tasks.

Below I try to list the tasks I can see:

1) Defining an aspect with a property (called "state" for example).

2) Creating a new workflow with three tasks more: the first at the very beginning assigning the aspect to the document, the second and third assigning the state value with "Approved"/"Not approved" depending on the workflow path.

3) Once the aspect and workflow are ready, you can modify the Document List view to show the new property. Below the link to the documentation describing where to act. 

Customizing document library views | Alfresco Documentation 

I hope this will help you.

Thank you Francesco,

You are clean, but I have a trouble: all documents with workflow loaded in Alfresco yet I can insert this aspect?

Thank you so much

Stefania

Yes, to update the documents already stored in the repository you have to develop something to iterate on all the documents to add the aspect and correctly evaluate the property.
