Workflow
What is Workflow?
All staff and students have access to Workflow which acts as an ePortfolio or eStudio for creative disciplines. It enables students to collect and curate images, video and other media, publishing their content selectively to different audiences (1-to-1, within a cohort or openly online) and share information. Students can take control of their area of Workflow, modifying the layout and the visual style. They can also work collaboratively in groups.
Why use Workflow?
There are 2 main uses of Workflow:
- Course teams use Workflow to encourage students to make the process of creative thinking visible to each other and to industry. It is also used to improve reflection and research skills. For examples of how Workflow is being used in practice, visit the Digital Learning Support website.
- Individuals can independently set up a Workflow site to make their work visible online.

Can I change the font?
I was wondering if it’s possible to change the font and colour on my workflow pages?
You can create a custom theme by going to My Pages -> Themes. There, you can choose from a wide range of fonts, and set page and text colours. Once you’ve created your theme, apply it to a particular page by editing the page, going to the Choose Theme tab, and selecting your new theme. Don’t forget to save your changes.
Even within a given theme, it’s possible to change font and font colour in a text box. Highlight your text and then choose one of the Font Family options. There are the usual web fonts and some others. While the text is highlighted, you can also change the font colour using the ‘A’ icon in the text box toolbar.
You can’t change the style of the header text (title) of a text box but you can delete it completely and use the body text as a title. So for example, you use one text box to create a title with a custom font, then another text box for the body text below.
Here’s an example:
Problems
If you have a problem logging into workflow with a UAL account which you also use to open webmail, Moodle, etc, the error is usually almost always to do with your UAL account rather than workflow. There are two main options for dealing with this:
1. Reset your password. Go to https://pss.arts.ac.uk and follow the instructions. You can also change your password using the Options section of your UAL webmail account.
Make sure you then update your password on your phone, tablet or any other device which tries to log into your account.
Then wait 15 minutes and try logging in to workflow again.
2. If the procedure above doesn't work, call the IT service desk on 0207 514 9898 for assistance.
Online short course accounts, and workflow-only accounts If you are an online short course student, or your account is just for workflow (e.g. if you are not a UAL student or staff member) and you've forgotten your username or password, please contact your course administrator in the first instance. If they can't help, they will escalate the request to the Digital Learning support team.
