Jordan Hirsch	Tuesday 06 October 2009 1:13:40 pm How can I set up a workflow that consists of 3 steps? 1) Level-1 User sends content for publishing. 2) Level-2 User approves content, <i>but it is not published yet</i>. 3) Level-3 User approves content, <i>at this point the content is published</i>.

Greg McAvoy-Jensen	Tuesday 06 October 2009 1:34:56 pm Hi Jordan! Just a quick thought: this sounds like a good use for the new object states feature. I read this article a while back and I believe it gives instruction on how to handle multi-stage approval: http://ez.no/developer/articles/ez_publish_knowledge_series_editorial_workflow_with_object_states Good luck!

Jordan Hirsch	Tuesday 06 October 2009 1:42:40 pm Hello Greg! Thanks for the link - I actually found that article right after I posted my question here. I'm at the last part about inter-group communications, and my first thought was "my client is not going to like the part where the content groups have to email each other." Do you (or does anyone else) know if notifications for changing object states have been rolled out yet? Thanks! -Jordan Me: http://jordan.teamhirsch.com My blog: http://wiredformusic.blogspot.com My other company: http://thinkimprov.com eZ Certification: http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/402488 eZ Award: http://ez.no/company/news/ez_awards_2007_prize_winners
Jordan Hirsch	Tuesday 06 October 2009 1:44:49 pm I should also say, I've used the "ezapprove2" extension for a little while now (http://projects.ez.no/ezapprove2_for_4_1) and while the description states that it can be used to create "multistep workflows," I don't see how that's possible. I wondered if maybe a Multiplexer might be the answer here, but frankly I've never fully understood what the Multiplexer offers outside of fine-grained control over which workflow gets run based on class and section.
