Hi, I have the following suggestions:
1) I can't define that a group of people should be allowed to approve content. If the guy being responsible for approval is on vacation there is no way to approve the pending content.. ?
Ok, I could redefine the workflow during the vacation, but the pending approvals are not moved to the substitute :-(
So my suggestion is:
A group of people should be allowed to approve content. As soon as the content is approved by one member of the group, the workflow continues.
If I change the workflow it should be possible to move pending documents to the new user/group which is then in charge for approval.
2) Why is there no way to edit content that is pending ?
There should be some functionality that allows me to get a document out of the pending queue eg. there is last minute information which should be included. It is unsatisfying that this content has to be denied before I can edit it again.
3) Why is there no way to edit content during approval ?
If there are minor changes all I could do is to publish the document and change it afterwards or deny it ?
concerning 2) and 3):
I've tried to publish a document by date. Unfortunately I've entered 2010-01-01 as date for testing. I hope there will be some way to get the damn thing out there before 2010.... :-(
There is really no way to access content which is waiting until date ?
4) Collaboration
Why is there an inbox and no other groups ?
I want to delete messages from collaboration or if that is still not possible at least I want to move them to a folder eg. denied, approved, trash
5) Status of documents in workflow queue
The message:
The content object <whatever> was approved and will be published once the publishing workflow continues.
is rather unsatisfying.
Any chance to see in which stage of the defined workflow the document resides ?
I wonder if I am the only one who misses the above functionality ?
Or did I miss something, since I am rather new to eZ Publish ?
