DESCRIPTION
The workflow module enables you to create arbitrary workflows in
Drupal and associate them with node types.
Workflows are made up of workflow states.
Moving from one state to another is called a transition.
Actions are associated with transitions (actions.module was used
for this in Drupal 5; core actions support is in Drupal 6).
Alex Reisner introduced role-based permissions for workflow states
and generally enhanced this module.
Actions can be associated with transitions.
Tokens are supported when modules Token and Entity_tokens are enabled.

INSTALLATION:
INSTALLATION
1. Place the entire workflow directory into your Drupal
sites/all/modules directory (or appropriate alternative).
2. Enable the workflow module by navigating to:
Administer > Site building > Modules
Administration » Modules
Enabling the workflow module will create the necessary database
tables for you.

ADVANCED SETTINGS:
- In the Workflow Field Settings you'll find (amongst other settings)
an option to choose how to display the available target settings. You
may choose between 'select list', 'radio buttons' or 'action buttons'.
The optons show the state labels, or - if you have set them in the
Workflow Transitions Tab - the transition labels.
- Be sure to enable the TOKEN module and the ENTITY TOKEN module to
make use of extra tokens. They include all properties of the latest
transition.
How to test the available tokens?
- Enable module 'Token'; use page admin/help/token;
- Enable module 'Token example'; use page examples/token;
- Enable module Automatic Entity Label, set a label, and save entity.
It also contains a token '[node:last-transition:created:seconds]'
that may be used with Rules to invoke actions, like sending reminder emails,
when content was NOT updated or a workflow did NOT transition state
for some time. Using these tokens you won't need PHP snippets.
- If you have WORKFLOW VIEWS enabled, a "Workflow" menu item will appear in the
navigation menu. This displays on a single page workflow state transition
forms for all nodes on your system that are subject to workflow. Naturally
you can modify and extend this View to your heart's content.
- If you want to add functionality programmatically, please check the following
files:
- workflow.api.php for all available hooks;
- workflow.test.inc for some rudimentary coding examples;
- You'll find all settings in one of below pages:
- /admin/config/workflow/workflow
- /admin/people/permissions#module-workflow_admin_ui
