How to use assignments in a workflow

Assignments of workflow

Assignments determine which entities are assigned this workflow. For each entity, it is possible to assign multiple product structures. Any entity of a given type with this product structure assigned to it will then be assigned the workflow.

Having set up assignments, you will be able to assign different states from the workflow to entities that are assigned the workflow to help keep track of the status of the entity.

Assignments and use of workflow example

Below is an example where products and variants of the product structure "Food" has been assigned the workflow. Having done that we are now able to track the status of each product and variant under the "Food" product structure. We save the workflow by clicking the "Save"-button in the bottom right corner.

With the workflow created we navigate to our product and are now able to see the current state of the product in the top, next to its name. Clicking on the state a drop down will appear and it is possible to transition into the next state.

The following pop-up will appear to verify the change in workflow state. In this case we are transitioning a product from "Draft" state to "EnrichmentInProgress" state. Pressing the "Confirm"-button will confirm the change of state.
