Once you have created, validated, installed, and made the custom workflow template available in Web Publisher, you can test it by sending content in a workflow instance created from the custom workflow template.

Figure 20.1 depicts the sequence of activities in the custom workflow we created in the previous chapter. This should serve as a good help while testing the workflow steps.

However, you first need to create the Web Publisher users that will participate in the workflow. In our case, we need to create a content author user and a content manager user in the Docbase before we can start using and testing the workflow.

20.1 Creating Users for Workflow in Documentum

The following steps will explain how to create users in Documentum:

1. Log in to Documentum Administrator as an administrator or superuser and go to User Management | Users.

   Choose menu option File | New | User to open up the New User creation screen.

2. Fill in the details for creating a content author user as shown in figure 20.2.

The User OS name gauravk already exists in the Windows domain and is used by Documentum for OS system authentication purposes. So, you need not provide a password for the NT user in the user creation screen shown in figure 20.2. However, you will have to specify the user settings/parameters as per your own environment.

Similarly create a content manager user as per the details shown in figure 20.3.

For details about users, groups, and their attributes please refer to the Documentum Content Server Fundamentals and Administration manuals.
