Re: [Dspace-tech] Moving item back into workflow

[Gary Browne]

Hi Matthias

You usually get the least elegant but the simplest option from me. If
you want a bulk import done, then you could use the item
importer/exporter, firstly to export collection A's items, then to
import them into collection B with the --workflow flag. This will force
items to be submitted through any existing workflow setup for collection
B.

If you don't want the users to do command-line stuff you could always
setup an interface to the item importer/exporter pretty easily.

Hope this helps in some small way.

Cheers
Gary

 Subject: [Dspace-tech] Moving item back into workflow
 
 Hello
 
 Suppose we have two collections, A and B. For collection B, 
 there's a submission workflow set up including an Edit Metadata step. 
 
 Next, suppose we want to let a collection administrator move 
 existing items from item A into collection B - this can be 
 done using the standard Move Item functionality in DSpace 
 1.5.1. However, we'd like to have the item pass through the 
 workflow defined for collection B during the move.
 
 This doesn't seem to be possible in a standard DSpace 
 installation, so I guess we'd need to do some custom coding 
 here. I would appreciate any comments on:
 
 - whether this is technically feasible with a *reasonable* 
 programming effort?
 - which classes to start looking at?
 
 Best regards,
