Building the Content

A workflow lets you define your team's content creation and review process. This enables users to maintain a systematic approach to reviewing and approving content.<img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltebc53cfaf0dd6403/blt59abc3a3207fe38e/67ddcf5545b229e638911b84/CSendUserTraining_L356img-1.png" alt="CSendUserTraining_L356img-1.png" height="auto"/><h1>Understanding with an example</h1>Let's understand this using the below diagram:<img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltebc53cfaf0dd6403/blt4fa5ed43893adac6/67ddcf825e486dbbde71bb63/CSendUserTraining_L36-img-2.png" alt="CSendUserTraining_L36-img-2.png" height="auto"/>The core part of creating a workflow is defining the stages of content creation. Once you have added these stages and enabled the workflow, the stages will be visible on every entry page of the corresponding content types of the stack. Workflows let content managers know the current content stage and allow them to control the stages of an entry.We first need to understand a simple use case or scenario to create the stages.The Scenario:We need to create, review, and publish Blog posts/articles to ensure that the whole process happens smoothly without any intervention from users.To accomplish this, we can create custom roles like:<ul><li>Content Writer - Will only be able to create and update the entry of Blog posts/articles.</li><li>Content Reviewer - Will only review the content.</li><li>Content Publisher - Will only publish the content.</li></ul>Based on these roles, the order of steps in the workflow should be as follows:<ul><li>Step 1 - The 'Content Writer' creates a draft of the content(creates entry). The 'Content Writer' then assigns it to the 'Content Reviewer' for review.</li><li>Step 2 - If the 'Content Reviewer' approves of the quality, they should be able to assign it to the 'Content Publisher' for publishing.</li><li>Step 3 - The 'Content Publisher' publishes the content.</li></ul>If the content is unsatisfactory, the 'Content Reviewer' should be able to assign it back to the 'Content Writer' for changes. The 'Content Writer' will make the required changes and again assign it to the 'Content Reviewer' for approval.The Stages:Based on the above steps, we can define the stages for the workflow in Contentstack as follows:<ul><li>Draft Stage - This is the stage where Step 1 will be executed. The 'Content Writer' can then update the stage to 'Review.'</li><li>Review Stage - This is the stage where Step 2 will be executed. The 'Content Reviewer' can then update the stage to 'Publish.'</li><li>Publish Stage - This is the stage where Step 3 will be executed.</li></ul>The number of stages and the users/user roles may vary depending on the use case. For more control, you can also configure options to restrict user roles from switching between stages.While changing the stages, the respective users/user roles can do the following activities:<ul><li>Switch to any of the available roles.</li><li>Set the Due date for the task(the task the user/user role must perform at the particular stage.&nbsp;Example:&nbsp;Review the Content).</li><li>Assign the task to the users/user roles.</li><li>Notify via email(When enabled, the information about the task is sent via email to the assigned users/user roles)</li><li>Comments(To add any specific comments for the assigned users/user roles)</li></ul><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltebc53cfaf0dd6403/blt7939c43045409a9b/67ddcf9aa714585585b9baa2/bc6ebe14-a6f6-4713-9b25-cdf30cdc9730-Screenshot_2023-05-03_at_1.05.24_PM.png" alt="bc6ebe14-a6f6-4713-9b25-cdf30cdc9730-Screenshot_2023-05-03_at_1.05.24_PM.png" height="auto"/>Additionally, workflow <a href="https://www.contentstack.com/docs/developers/set-up-workflows-and-publish-rules/about-workflow-tasks/">tasks</a> l allow you to track pending tasks assigned to users. We will review this in the next episode.Potential Use Case:<ul><li>In a typical media company's content creation and publishing process where we need all entries should go through multiple teams like Draft, Translation, SEO, and Review stages to add all necessary checks to verify before it gets published to production.</li></ul>Quick Tips:<ul><li>You can configure 10 workflows per Stack by default.</li><li>While a minimum of 2 stages are required per workflow, the maximum number of stages a workflow can have is 20.</li></ul><h1>Further Reading</h1><ul><li><a href="https://www.contentstack.com/docs/developers/set-up-workflows-and-publish-rules/about-workflows/">About Workflows</a></li><li><div><a href="https://www.contentstack.com/docs/developers/set-up-workflows-and-publish-rules/about-workflow-stages/">Workflow Stages</a></div></li></ul>

Deleting a Branch

Understand the basics of how user fields are defined in Lytics and where to access them in your account.<h2>Overview</h2>Note: On January 10, 2023, we upgraded our UI with a new, refreshed interface. All of the underlying functionality is the same, but you will notice that things look a little different from this Academy guide. The most notable change is that the navigation menu has moved from the top of the app to the left side. We appreciate your patience as we work on updating our Academy.What will I learn?<ul><li>What is a User Field?</li><li>How are User Fields defined?</li><li>Where do I access my user fields?</li></ul>User Fields are defined by a mapping layer that we call the Lytics Query Language (LQL). This layer determines the schema for a User Profile and ultimately dictates how your raw event data passed to Lytics are represented on a User Profile. In addition, LQL is responsible for managing rules related to Identity Resolution.<div style="position: relative;overflow: hidden;padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://cdn.jwplayer.com/players/6kRgnIG5-b769H14u.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" title="UserFields - Overview" style="position: absolute;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><ul><li>User fields are a filtered and aggregated view of your raw data.</li><li>Although Lytics will collect and store all data you send, in order to keep your marketing efforts focused, not all of the data is surfaced.</li></ul><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltebc53cfaf0dd6403/bltba80d1af532824af/68628cb5e8e8e64be45cf2dc/User_Fields_-_Lytics_data_funnel_processed_events.png" alt="User_Fields_-_Lytics_data_funnel_processed_events.png" height="auto"/><h2>Knowledge Check</h2><h3>Match the term to its definition</h3><table><tbody><tr><td>User Field</td><td>A filtered and aggregated view of your raw user data.</td></tr><tr><td>Unique Identifier</td><td>A living record of an individual that interacts with your brand.</td></tr><tr><td>User Profile</td><td>A special type of user field that matches and merges user data across different sources.</td></tr></tbody></table>Where can you find user fields in the Lytics UI?A.
