NBIA role required to use this feature: NCIA.SUPER_CURATOR

A workflow is a business process that, in the case of NBIA, an image series must pass through before it is published. Since it is a business process, these steps must be defined first within an organization. NBIA allows you to change the visibility status of an image series. This visibility change is part of the definition of a workflow item. Workflow items can also trigger a web service call to a URL. When you define a workflow item, you specify a name for it, the type of action that will take place during it (such as a visibility change), which image collection and site are involved, and the URL of a web service if the information resulting from this workflow item should be sent to one.

You can create, edit, and delete workflow items
