Workflow

In any content management system, workflow is an integral issue. The Meridium Workflow has been developed based on user input from corporate clients.

In an ideal world, workflow follows a linear model, where each person in the chain needs to complete their step before it progresses. But this is not the way the business world actually works!

The Meridium Workflow process is as follows:

• A Content Editor creates or edits a Container, sets a publication date for the content to go live and submits the content for publication.
• A Content Publisher reviews the content submitted for publication and either approves, re-edits or declines the submission.
• On approval, the content is queued for publication to the live site at the time specified by the publication date.
• If the content is declined, the Content Editor is informed by email and no content changes are actioned.

Content editing and publication is limited by permissions. Content Editors can only edit content they have appropriate permissions to edit, and Content Publishers can only publish content for which they have permission.

A MeridiumMaster role which enables instant editing and publishing is also available.
