    Status macro
    Updated Aug 12

    Status macro

    Overview

    A workflow can be configured to automatically update the Status macro caption to be the current workflow state name when a state transition occurs.

    Note: This is primarily for older templates. Where possible, use the Page Status Macro instead.

    Workflow setup

    Use the updatestatus=true parameter on the workflow macro.

    {workflow:name=Update status|updatestatus=true} {state:First} {state} {state:Second} {state} {workflow}

    Adding the macro

    To add the macro to a page:

    1. In the editor, choose Insert 

      → Status

    2. Set the Title, Color and Outline Style to whatever you want

    3. Choose Insert

    Here's how the macro looks on your page:

    State

    Whenever the workflow state changes, the status macro will be updated to reflect the current workflow state.

    The current workflow state for an applied workflow state on a page is stored as a value reference - this can be retrieved as a metadata value using @awpState@ using the get-metadata macro or an appropriate reporting app or third party macro.
