Using different Workflows with the same Page (menu item) document template
Hi,

I'm trying to create pages that use different workflows.

For example my top level menu structure is as follows:

- Services
- About us
- Industries
- Join us

The first three pages will be administered by marketing, so will use the same workflow. The Join us page however is administered by HR and will need a different workflow than the first 3 pages.

My problem is that all 4 pages use the document template "Page (menu item)" which only allows you to select one workflow which applies to every page that uses "Page (menu item)". How can I make it so that the Join Us page uses a different workflow?

Do I have to make an HR version of "Page (menu item)" so it can have an HR workflow? Is there an easy way to do this?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Heath.

Re: Using different Workflows with the same Page (menu item) document template
Hi Heath,

Thank you for your post. Unfortunately, this option is currently not suported :( It will be supported in Kentico CMS 2.0 later this year.

The only thing you can do is to create a new document type and use it for displaying the content on the HR page. So the structure would look like this:

- Services (Page)
- About us (Page)
- Industries (Page)
- Join us (Page without content - no editable regions)
- Join us content (Article_HR - article with content for the Join Us page)
- ... any other document types ...

You will then display the "Join us content" article on the Join us page using the CMSViewer control as you do for the /logo document in the sample Corporate Site application...

I'm sorry for this inconvenience.

Please let me know I can be of any further help with this issue.

Best Regards,

Thanks Petr,

That's the solution I came up with as well.

It should be no problem to do it this way!

Thanks for your help.
