Workflow Roles

The translate5 basic workflow knows three workflow roles: proofreader (first or only editor), translator (second editor, if needed), and visitor (not part of the workflow chain; can only view content).

Workflow Steps

The translate5 basic workflow knows two workflow steps:

It is possible to allocate only users with the role as an editor to a task in the workflow - then the second workflow step is omitted.

The role as a visitor is not allocated to any workflow step. It has no function in the workflow chain.

A user with the role as a project manager is able to open a task in the workflow for viewing at any time. He is able to edit any task, which is not currently opened by another user.

Workflow Status of Task Allocations

Each allocation of a user with a role to a workflow step has a workflow status. The translate5 basic workflow knows the following workflow statuses:

The project manager is able to change each task allocation for each user at any time.


If a user opened a task for editing, no other user can edit it as long as the session of the editing user is valid and he does not close the task.
