Need some help getting started

[Ovidiu Pacuraru]

Running the latest Mayan version via Docker. Seems to be working fine. 

Btw. where and how do I stop displaying the admin password in plain text on the initial page?

Here is my scenario in as much detail as I can give in the hopes someone can help me connect the dots.

I am planning to use Mayan for my ISO 27k Documentation. 

I have 3 ISO scopes so I would planned to create: 

1 cabinet called ISO DOCS with 3 cabinets underneath calles scope1, scope2 and scope3

The idea is to put general docs which apply to all 3 scopes in the main folder and the docs which only apply to the 3 scopes into the corresponding folders. 

I need: 

1 user with editing rights (me) 

2 users who only review a document and then pass it on via a workflow/state/transition or reject it with comments for re-editing

2 users who can approve via the same workflow after a user has reviewed it.

I have created 2 groups: reviewers and approvers, put the right people into the groups, then created 2 roles called them approvers and reviewers again (quite confused about the whole group vs roles usage in Mayan)

Next I created 2 workflows: 

workflow A docs get reviewed by user A and approved by user C 

workflow B docs get reviewed by user B and approved by user D 

I created 4 states: "In Progress", "Pending Review", "Pending Approval", "Approved". 

The initial state for all uploaded docs should be "Pending Review"

Next I created 3 transitions: 

"review failed" which sends a doc back from "Pending Review" to "In Progress"

"review OK" which send a doc from "Pending Review" to "Pending Approval"

"rejected" which send a doc back from "Pending Approval" to "In Progress"

I also created a Document type so that I can assign this document type to my workflows.

I do understand that users need to subscribe to events to get notifications but I am having problem assigning the necessary ACLs to get this scenario working. 

The desired result would be: 

me: able to upload and basically do everything except review or approve

all other users should only be allowed to read all docs in these 4 cabinets and execute the transitions assigned to the workflows where they are involved. 

This sounds quite simple but as I stated in another thread, a lot of connections are unclear due to a missing user manual. 

Can someone give me some pointers? I could also make this test installation publicly available for a time and share credentials... its an isolated docker image in my DMZ...

Also, is it possible to switch the view from thumbnails to some kind of list? See here: http://take.ms/vWL5K 

Same question for the version overview. In my docker installation the versions show as thumbnails, on the mayan website I see a list: https://www.mayan-edms.com/img/features/document_versioning.png How do I get that view? 

Also, a list view is needed, for audits I need to print/download the latest versions of all or selected files from within each folder. Doing this with  the thumbnail view gets quite complicated one by one :-( 

I really hope someone can help me out here.

I forgot one more question: 

Does Mayan automatically handle and show the versions of a document somewhere or do I need to setup version numbers manually via metadata?

Does anyone have any tips or hints?

Does anyone spot anything I'm missing here?

Any feedback at all?
