Understanding project workflow types

The project workflow types in Meridian are used to perform the revision of related documents as a group. Project workflow controls the overall revision process of the entire group of documents that the project includes. Project workflow ensures that the steps of a project are executed in the correct order by the correct people. The documents within a project are revised individually using one of the types of document workflow. For example, a simple project workflow might require that all document revisions be reviewed as a completed set before they can be released for use.

Meridian provides project workflow for project folders. Project folders that can have a workflow are a feature of the optional Advanced Project Workflow Module. The commands for using the workflow of a project folder are named for the transitions between states that the commands run and as such have whatever names the system administrator specifies. Project folders without workflow are part of the Managed Change feature set of BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise.
