Workflow Process

The Cascade Server content management system workflow is broken down into three roles:

User – In short, the Web Content Users are responsible for creating and editing pages and content within their departments, as well as uploading documents to the UploadFile System. The Web Content Users are the primary source of web development within their departments.

Approver   – The Web Content Approvers are the “second set of eyes” and function as a proofreader for pages/content/documents. The Web Content Approvers can request Web Content Users to make updates to their department pages as well.

Publisher – The publisher for the University is Administrator of Cascade Server; Fernando Estrada. In the final step of the workflow process the publisher will give the pages a final glance to make sure layout of content follows the University Brand Guide before pushing the pages to the web server and making them LIVE and accessible to the public.
