Setting workflows for specific repositories

To use a workflow, you need to select a workflow for a repository. Each repository can use its own workflow or inherit the workflow from the parent repository.

The workflow only applies to the repository in the selected branch. When you create a new branch, the repository uses the same settings as the branch it is created from. All files in the new branch are set to the default workflow state. If you create a snapshot branch, the states set on files in the parent branch are copied to the new branch.

1. Select the repository and choose Activities > Properties.

The Properties dialog box opens with the General tab selected.

2. Click the Workflow tab.

  • Select No workflow if you do not want use a workflow for the repository.
  • Select Use parent repository workflow to use the same workflow as the parent repository. If the repository does not have a parent, select Use default workflow to use the default workflow.
  • Select Use workflow template and select the workflow template to use for the repository. Read-only information for the selected template is displayed.

3. Click OK to save the changes.

The workflow is set for the repository and users can now set workflow states on files. See Changing workflow states.
