The Content Master Workflow
In situations where users are part of the Content Masters group, content can be approved through a one-step process. The Content Master Approval Workflow allows users, who are part of the Content Masters Group, to Approve content, without creating Approval Tasks or emails, until such time as content comes up for Review.
Content Master | Breeze | Content State | Explanation | |
1 | Uploads Content | Draft | Content Manager uploads content | |
2 | Tags Content | Draft | Content Manager adds properties and other metadata to the content | |
3 | Submits Content For Approval | Pending | The Content Master submits content for Approval via the Knowledge Source (same as for normal Content Approval) | |

Waits for NRSD* | Approved | System waits for Next Review Start Date |
*NRSD = Next Review Start Date; this date is calculated by adding the Review Interval (months) to the Date a Content item is Approved. In situations where there is no Review Interval set, the workflow will not update the NRSD and the workflow will stop.
