Sending documents through workflow
Documents in the package can be sent through the workflow either individually or in bulk.
Documents added in the package will be reviewed and approved by single or multiple approvers. These approvers are defined from the Approvers tab.
Document controllers have the responsibilities of post approval processing of packages such as releasing transmittals etc. Each package can be assigned with multiple document controllers.
In the case of authorization packages a transmittal is released once the package is approved. You can define the transmittal details and when a transmittal is created for the package, the transmittal details window is populated with these details.
Once you complete entering the details next step is to save the package. When you save the package, the status of the package will change to CREATED.
After entering properties, adding documents and selecting approvers and document controllers you can submit the package for approval. Submitted package will be listed in the Pending My Approval tab of the selected approvers.
Tip
If approvers / reviewers are not defined, package cannot be submitted. Package can be submitted by any user who has appropriate security privileges. There can be one or more approvers/ reviewers for a package. Once submitted, in serial approval mode, the package will be available in the workspace of the approvers having the lowest approval sequence. In parallel mode, all approvers will get the package in their workspace for review.
