Editing EPrints Glossary (section)

== W ==
=== Workflow ===
[[#First class data object|First class]] [[#Data object|data objects]] in [[#EPrints repository software|EPrints repository software]] have a workflow to allow the metadata they store to be edited via a sequence of forms.  The most common of these is the [[#EPrint workflow|eprint workflow]] for the [[EPrint Object|eprint data object]].  By default the configuration for this workflow is written in XML and can be found in ''default.xml'' in either [[lib/workflows/eprint/]] or [[flavours/pub_lib/workflows/eprint/]]. If this needs to be modified it should be copied to the archive's [[Archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/workflows/eprint/|cfg/workflows/eprint/]] directory before editing.  Explanation of the various elements and attributes are described in the [[Workflow_Format|workflow format guide]].

=== Workflow component ===
These provide sections (i.e. boxes) within each [[#Workflow stage|workflow stage]].  A workflow component contain one or more [[#Metadata field|metadata fields]] or some other content to assist the [[#Metadata|metadata]] submission process.  There are various different types of workflow component that serve different purposes:
* '''Documents''' - For managing [[#Document|document]] [[#Sub-object|sub-objects]].
* '''Error''' - Used when there is an issue with the workflow component, (e.g. the metadata field included does not exist).
* '''Field''' - This has various sub-types for including one, several or [[#Subject|subjects]] type metadata fields.
* '''Upload''' - For uploading a file, (e.g. a document to an [[#EPrint|eprint]]).
* '''XHTML''' - Just some HTML markup.

=== Workflow stage ===
As a [[#Workflow|workflow]] is a sequence (or flow) of forms a workflow stage defines one of these forms.  Stages can be defined within the [[Workflow_Format|workflow format]] to produce the order of forms required.  Each workflow stage contains one or more [[#Workflow component|workflow components]], that in turn include [[#Metadata field|metadata fields]] for the relevant [[#Data object|data object]].  Below, is the [[#EPrints XML|EPrints XML]] markup for the default ordering of workflow stages for an eprint data object:
 <flow>
   <stage ref="type"/>
   <stage ref="files"/>
   <stage ref="core"/>
   <stage ref="subjects"/>
 </flow>
