Hi All, I am looking for solution to show workflow in the Timeline for any particular folder in the DAM. The timeline shows the workflow for any digital asset but for folder type and shows a message(The timeline is not available for the selected item type.) under it.

Please suggest if we can somehow customise it to show the workflow for the activation of the folder and files under it in one go.

Hi Sandeep Rawat

Solution to you problem could be (Not Sure), Creating a custom workflow and setting an event listener on the folder or node (which you would like may it be page/Folder/Asset) and performing your task.

Hi, On the home page (http://localhost:4502/projects.html), select Assets tab and then choose any asset folder. Click on select(icon) and then click on the asset folder. Then click on Timeline, Under the Show all, there is an option to select the workflow to run. On click of the workflow, it doesn's show the workflows list. Which I can use for activation of the folder and its assets. Please let me know if anything is not clear
