According to Wikipedia, "A workflow consists of a sequence of connected steps. It is a depiction of a sequence of operations, declared as work of a person, a group of persons, an organization of staff, or one or more simple or complex mechanisms"
The workflow system in Liferay 6 allows the users to create and publish content in a step by step way.
Liferay 6 provides a workflow integration mechanism that allows the portal to be integrated with workflow engines like JBPM (the de-facto java standard for workflows), and provides a custom developed workflow engine for those who doesn't want to install one: this is the Kaleo Workflow Engine.
The workflow is applied out-of-the-box to the following Liferay entities:
- Wiki Page
- Web Content
- Document Library Document
- Blogs Entry
- Comments
- Message Boards Message
And it can be implemented in more entities, even custom developed entities.
There are four portlets related to the workflow that allows the users manage this system.
