How to use WorkflowManager

With the help of the AI Suite, you can create and edit metadata via WorkflowManager starting from versions 13.1.0 and 12.7.0. Currently, you can create and edit page metadata, metadata of file references, and metadata of files. With versions 13.5.0 and 12.11.0, the storage of previously set filter options was added to avoid having to completely reset the filtering every time.

Generate in the background & auto-fill

Since versions 12.19.0 / 13.13.0 / 14.1.0, in addition to direct execution the WorkflowManager offers the button "Generate with AI and auto-fill in background" (for translations, "Translate with AI and auto-fill in background"). The tasks are then not processed interactively right away, but created as background tasks, processed by the scheduler, and automatically written back into the records.

The button only appears when all of the following prerequisites are met:

  • the permission "Enable CLI workflow execution" (enable_cli_workflow_execution) is set
  • the TYPO3 extension EXT:scheduler is installed
  • an active scheduler task runs the command ai-suite:process-tasks regularly

For details on the commands and the setup, see CLI Commands. The corresponding permissions are described under Permission Management.
