Is it possible to make a asset (pdf in my case) added into a specific folder go straight to the status of Live. Say we have an asset listing which displays the pdf's in this folder and there is only one user allowed to add docs to this folder i want the status to go straight to live so it is immediately available in the asset listing.
Is this possible.
It is only possible with Matrix v3.2 or 3.4 if you use the Asset Builder to create the PDF asset, as you can configure the Asset Builder to automatically change the status of an asset. You have to ensure that Workflow is not applied to the parent asset, though.
In Matrix v3.6, you can define triggers that perform this action when an asset is added in the Administration Interface.
Hello,
I am confused. I would like to use a trigger to set the status of a new asset, made by an asset builder, to 'Pending Approval', so that the workflow of the parent asset will be applied. But you say that cannot be done; How can I do this some other way? I just want to make non-live assets through an asset builder, that will become subject to workflow.
I'd like to find out how to do this too!!
I think you can do that with triggers.
Lets say you have an asset builder creating Standard Page assets under asset #123.
You would create a trigger in 3.6 with the following conditions:
- asset type = standard page
- tree location = under asset #123
You would have the action:
- set status = Pending Approval
You would have the event:
- asset created
That should attempt to set the status of every standard page created under asset #123 to pening approval when it is created.
