How do you promote a template in dev to production?
Laserfiche template? Or are you asking how can you move a workflow rule between servers? If it's the latter, you can export a workflow from one server and import it into another. The import wizard will walk you through replacing the connection profile and data sources. See the Workflow menu in the WF Designer.
Aya, if you're talking about moving a Laserfiche template from your development server to your production server, you can briefcase a document that has that template assigned and then import that briefcase into production.
All of the options listed above work, here's a few more.
If it's a Laserfiche template you also:
1. Open Administration Console
2. Register both your development and production servers
3. Select the dev repository
4. In the Metadata management tab select the Template section
5. Find the template in question and right click and export as xml
6. Navigate to the production repository within the admin console
7. Right click on the repository name and select "Import Repository Objects"
8. Navigate to the xml file produced above and import.
My preferred method is click and drag the template from dev into production all within the administration console which has both repositories registered to it. It's less steps and doesn't create any files which you have to cleanup afterwards.
