By setting up a workflow and selecting 'In advance' in the settings.
If your users need approval before they download items*, start creating templates, or order products, you can set up approvals in advance by setting up a workflow and selecting 'In advance' in the settings:
- Go to 'Admin' > 'Workflows'.
- Give the workflow a name and description (optional).
- Select the approvers.
- In the settings, select:
-
- Status: 'Active'
- Type: 'Default'
- Time: 'In advance'
To activate the workflow for the product or template, you need to adjust the product settings:
- Go to 'Products' and edit the product or template to which the workflow should apply.
- Scroll down to 'Workflow' in the settings.
- Choose the desired workflow from the list.
- Click 'Workflow active'.
- Save the product.
*Workflows for downloadable items only apply to products. This means you can't set up a workflow for media library (DAM) assets. If you want to set up a workflow for an asset, you need to create a product for this asset.
