Our current login design change

Firstly, without a glass of red this is not going to be as imaginative.


Matrix is prone to over emailing so I am surprised that the other approvers didn't get 2 or 3 but at least one email telling them that the asset was rejected as well. If you want to make it nice for the lawyer then put them in their own step so that they only get a subpoena when they are really required. Will save you at least $350 an hour for the phone call they made to you.

Approve / reject e-mails have been set up to only go to the person who edited the page (not every approver).
Squiz tell me that rejection and approval e-mails are configured together so enabling rejection e-mails for all approvers would cause them to get all approval e-mails (unwanted) too.

For our set up, this would mean 5 unwanted approval e-mails per change, 100 changes per week on a busy week = 500 extra e-mails per approver for each useful rejection e-mail.

I estimate that will cost me about $3500 for all the extra calls they'll make to me complaining about being spammed by the workflow process.

Plus the 30 other approvers would form an angry mob and hold me captive in my office until I agreed to change it back.

Workflow emails can be turned off globally if you prefer, but this does mean nobody will get the "Workflow approved" emails; only the "Workflow rejected" emails will be sent.



If you want this, go to System Config > Internal Message Config and then put asset.workflow.announce.approve in the Send to Email Blacklist.

Thanks, probably best that we save the workflow e-mails for another thread. Have been through this in depth with Squiz staff many times, have tried a few variations, and believe we have the best configuration we can with workflow e-mails.



I wanted to offer an example of a situation where customising the login page would have value about pure aesthetics.
