Manage statuses in a template

Inspire provides you with a template for the process of getting reviews and developing content. Inspire workflow templates are designed around an Activity. An activity represents a task that needs to be done to complete a step in the workflow. Each Activity has a Status that tells you what is happening to the components in that step of the workflow.

Tips and tricks

  • Each activity has a required status.
  • Inspire provides the following default activities that you can edit or remove:
    • Writing
    • Reviewing
    • Publishing
  • You can add a new status, update an existing one, or delete one.
  • You can only have one status per activity.
  • The same status can be used in multiple activities.

Before you begin

  • A Status is unique to the template where it's included.
  • If you want to use the new or updated Status in a different template, you have to re-create it in that specific template.
  • If you delete a status from one workflow template, such as Writing, it will not remove any other Writing statuses in other templates.
  • If you only want to update an Activity to use a different status, follow the steps in Update an activity.
