About auto-actions on opening, saving or closing page

When you enable it in your personal preferences, the page workstate can automatically change when you open a page, save a page or close a page. This prevents you to forget to change the page workstate. The functionality is disabled by default.

The predefined actions are the following:

•When you open a page, and its workstate is New, it automatically changes to Edit.

•When you save the page in the Edit workstate, and you added some objects (the page is not empty any more), the workstate changes to Layout.

•When you close the page, after you emptied it, the workstate changes to New. If the page is not empty, the workstate changes to Layout.

For this to work, you need to set, in the Editorial Config, the appropriate values described in Global variables for page workstate auto-actions (the last three variables).

Notes

•This functionality uses the variable F_AutoActionsOnPageSave.

•The auto-actions are performed by the PageAutoActions script.

•The affected scripts are DataSave, DataClose, OnPageOpen, OnPageClose
