Note: Edits made to the workflow are saved automatically.

Inheritance

Moment tasks and approvals are managed on each moment, i.e. task and approval phases are not inherited from stories and by content.

Pause Phase

A pause phase can be added to temporarily stop a workflow and notify one or many of your colleagues. An email and in-app notification will be sent to everyone assigned to a pause phase.

Note: A pause can be added after a task or approval phase. When you'd like to continue the workflow, click “Resume”.

Approval Status

The status of your moment workflow can be easily seen in Calendar while viewing by week.

  • Workflow Not Started - Workflow has been created and has not been started yet
  • Tasks Pending - A task phase is active with at least one task pending completion
  • Workflow Paused - Workflow is paused and can be re-started by anyone on the team
  • Approval Pending - A request for approval has been sent
  • Moment Declined - The request for approval has been declined
  • Moment Approved - The request for approval has been approved
Note: The approval status does not impact a piece of content’s status.
