Starting a workflow

You have created a process definition and registered in the engine. Now will see how to start a workflow.

From the OpenKM web interface, access to the Desktop (the default tab when you log into OpenKM). Here you can see the documents and folders stored in the repository. To start an workflow from OpenKM you must select a document and push on the button in the toolbar.

In OpenKM all the workflows are related to a document or folder.

In this simple case, the workflow will begin and end almost instantly because there is no request for user to input data. In the next sample will request some data to the user.

If you have registered an workflow and it does not appear in the list, you need to add this workflow in the User Profile.
