GETTING STARTED:
Let's create a new workflow. Click on administer -> workflow and click
on the "add workflow" tab.
We'll start simple. Call our workflow "Draft-Done" and click Add Workflow.
Now lets add some workflow states to our workflow. Click "add state" and
enter "draft" and click the Add State button. Do the same for "done".
So we've got a workflow with two states, "draft" and "done". Now we
have to tell each state which other states it can move to. With only
two states, this is easy. Click on the "transitions" link to the right
of the "draft" state.
The "From" column lists all states that may move to this state. The
"To" column lists all states that we may move to from this state. Since
we're keeping this simple, we will have the simplest possible workflow.
Nodes in a "draft" state may move to a "done" state, and that's it.
To set this up, click the checkbox next to "done" and click the
Save Transitions button.
Just for fun, click on the transitions link to the right of the "done"
state. As expected, it shows that you can get to the "done" state
from the "draft" state.
Now let's tell Drupal which node types should use this workflow. Click
on the "type mapping" tab. Let's assign the Draft-Done workflow
to the story node type and click Save Workflow Mapping.
Now we could add an action (previously configured using the actions
module). If you have not configured your action yet, here's a quick
guide:
- go to administer -> actions
- choose an action and click "Add new action"
- configure the action and click Save. Note that the description field
  here will be used later on
OK, back in the workflow module, click on the actions link to the
right of your workflow. Add the action to the transition.
Now create a new story by going to create content -> story. Note that
there is no sign of workflow here because the story is in its
initial state. Click submit to create the story.
Now click the edit tab. Note that there is a select box for workflow
with the "draft" state chosen.
Changing the state to "done" and clicking Submit will fire the action
you set up earlier.
