Workflow
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

In certain industry scenario, the document approval workflow may not be standard across the organization but specific to each project. For Example: In certain projects, there may be external design consultants but in certain other projects, this will not be there. Hence documents in one project will require workflows with external stages while the same in another project may not require workflows with external stages.  Hence it is required to define the workflows to be used at the project level. In certain project sites after revising, the deliverable should pass through a different workflow team based on the selected issue purpose. To address this, a facility to configure workflow team against Issue purpose is also available.
