Participants in a workflow will receive an email notification of their expected participation. The email will include some instructions as well as a link to a workflow completion page and a reference to the location of the files under review.
There are two different ways to participate in a workflow:
- You can click the link in the email notification
- You can sign into WesFiles and click on the Tasks tab
Either way, you can add comments and then approve or reject the documents as you prefer. To see it in action, watch the animated demo:
Known issue: Sometimes the links to the materials under review will trigger an error rather than taking you to the folder or file you wish to examine. In this case, look at the link and follow the path it specifies. Alternatively, you can just attach that path to the stem:
https://wesfiles.wesleyan.edu
For example, if the materials you need to look at are at:
/home/xythostest/shared-folder
Then you can point your browser to
https://wesfiles.wesleyan.edu/home/xythostest/shared-folder
When you land on the simplified index page for the folder, click the link to Launch WFS Web View
