CMP Flow

The CMP flow is the journey content takes being approved for creation to finally being archived at the end of its life cycle.

An idea is created, and once it is approved for creation by a content administrator clicking on , the idea enters the CMP flow as content. The information box on the content shows the state of where the content is in the flow; Approved for creation. There is also a Start button displayed:

Once the Start button is pressed. The status changes to Working on it. The content moves from approved ideation to being produced:

The new step is shown by the Send for approval button. The content is to be created and sent for review:

Once the content has been sent for Approval the status changes in the CMP flow to Under Review:

The content is then reviewed and either the Reject or Approve button is selected:

If rejected the content will be returned to the earlier state of Working on it.

If approved the content moves to the next state of Approved:

From here the content can be returned Back to the drawing board, which is a label used as an alias for Working on it, or forwarded on to Publish:

The content is now fully prepared and ready to be published. If the content administrators are satisfied and there are no final edits, the content is published:

The CMP flow has reached its final state and once the content has its end of life, it can be archived using the Archive button:

But the CMP flow is agile and the content can still be returned to the state of Under review by clicking the Unpublish button. This will return the content back to review, from which it can be returned to Working on it and reworked:

From where it could be sent Back to the drawing board for a quick rework to meet a new factor.

The overall CMP flow is represented as follows:
