Simple status update

The status action is presented by a dropdown which is available on asset's detail view.
This dropdown displays available target statuses for the current asset, according to available wkf actions on the asset for the user (permissions check)
If no actions are available, the dropdown can still be displayed (Depending on configuration and permissions cf setup and security below) and it will only show the current status as information.

Bulk status update

Bulk status update is available for a selection of assets after a config update (cf config setup).
This action will not be displayed if status indicator is not displayed by config (cf config setup)
This action can be disabled if no available target statuses have been found on the asset selection for current user.
This action can be not displayed if user has no rights to see status indicator

  • User is not allowed to perform at least one wkf action on assets from at least one media library (cf indicator security)

This action enables users to access the change status popover, which displays the available target statuses for the currently selected assets. If certain statuses are not available for some assets in the selection, they will be marked with an exclamation mark to alert the user. If a marked status is selected, only the assets that can transition to the target status will be updated.

Security

Available target statuses are computed/retrieved from asset.status.$workflowActions values.

These values are accessible only if the data retrieval call includes the parameter workflows: true.
Target statuses may be unavailable due to insufficient permissions or the absence of workflow actions in the workflow definition.
$workflowActions adhere to the permissions defined for the role in wedia-config.
