Workflow

The Activiti workflow engine is built into SkyVault Content Services. It also provides UI in SkyVault Share to allow you to create standard workflows and manage them. In addition, as a developer, you can create custom workflows and manage them programmatically.
Information Workflow
Public Java API To start and manage workflow instances use the WorkflowService, see also the JavaDocs.
Repository JavaScript API Use the workflow root object, for more info see the Workflow JavaScrip API documentation.

Example of how to start a workflow with an attached file:

var aFile = search.findNode("<NodeRef>");
var workflowAction = workflow.getDefinitionByName('activiti$some-process-definition-name');
var package= workflow.createPackage();
package.addNode(aFile);
var parameters = new Array(2);
parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] = "Testing BOPP Workflow ";
parameters["someCustomWorkflowVariable"]="someVal";
var futureDate = new Date();
futureDate.setDate(futureDate.getDate() + 7);
parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = futureDate; 
workflowAction.startWorkflow(package, parameters);
