Determining Actions

In the <actions> section, you can determine the actions to be performed for a transition.

Attention

Actions are not linked to any user rights in Across. This means e.g. that even a user who does not have the respective Across right can release terms via workflow in crossTerm Now if he has been assigned a transition that contains the "Release" action.

The <actions> element may contain the following child elements:

<publish>

  • For new entry/term suggestions and translation requests: Causes the respective entry/term to be published after the transition; thus, it will become visible to the terminology search.
  • For change suggestions: Adopts suggested changes to the original entry.

<unpublish>

  • For new entry/term suggestions and translation requests: Causes new entries/terms not to be published; thus, they cannot be found via the terminology search.
  • For change suggestions:

<release>

Causes the respective term to be marked as Released upon publication.

<unrelease>

Causes the release of the respective term to be removed after the workflow is finished.

<sendEmail>

Causes an e-mail to be sent for the transition.

Additional Information
E-Mail Notifications

<requestTranslation>

Creates one translation work item per target language, based on the suggested term.

The following attributes can be used:

Attribute
Mandatory/optional
Description
targetLanguages
Mandatory
To determine the target languages. The target languages must be specified in the form of LCIDs or language codes, separated by semicolons. Alternatively, you can set a link to the workflow parameter that contains this information.
Attention

Languages that you specify here must be configured in crossTerm Now. Otherwise, invalid work items will arise.

copySourceTerm
Optional
Determines whether the source term including all its properties is to be copied to the target languages. This saves you the effort of copying the term manually, in case you want the term to be identical in all languages.
Possible values: true or false. By default, false is used.
workflow
Mandatory
Name or ID of the workflow
Attention
  • Please note:
  • Translation requests are not supported for the work item type "Change suggestion for entries". If you create such a workflow, this will result in an error.

<requestAdministrative>

Creates an administrative work item on the basis of the suggested term. This work item can be used e.g. to select language sets for the translation and to distribute these sets to different work items.

The following attribute can be used:
