Workflow Best Practices

Jason Ebersole Mar 24, 2009 5:55 PM

What is considered more effective/best practices when wanting to associate certian folders and/or files to a particular workflow:

Conditions to exclude in the workflow properties you don't want files or folders to use.

-or-

Conditions to include.

Conditions to include would be less work, but this doesn't always seem to do the trick.

You have to set conditions so that any file in the vault can only go into one workflow. If there are two or more possible workflow, then it will pick the workflow that was last saved as the one to go into.

  So does setting a condition to include certian files or folders in one workflow automatically exclude it from other workflows? If not, then it sounds like conditions to exclude in all but the one you want the files or folders to use is the way to go.
  
  More work, but if that's the most reliable way to get files and folders into the right workflow, then so be it!
  
  Thanks, Jason

    If you sort files by "Category" then you can have Workflows that only apply to specific Categories.
