Submitting a document for approval
A draft document can be routed for approval, providing that the approval
option is not disabled on the document type form. If a review cycle is
required for the document, the document state must be “Review Complete.”
Document approvers are notified by e-mail that they are to approve or
reject the document when you complete this procedure.
Procedure
To submit a document for approval, perform the following steps:
1. Open the file cabinet and binder that contains the document you want
approved.
2. Open the document profile, and click Submit for Approval.
Note If you are working in a non-master file cabinet, you’ll first have
to check out the current draft.
3. Specify the document approvers:
• Choose All Draft Editors
• Choose All Document Managers
• Select specific approvers
4. Specify the routing type:
• Choose serial if you want each approver to approve the document in
sequence in the order established by the initiator.
• Choose parallel if you want each approver to approve the document
at the same time.
5. (Optional) Specify a time limit option:
• Choose “Send approver a reminder after time limit expires,” then
enter the number of days to allow; or de-select this option.
• Choose “Send originator a notification after time limit expires,” then
enter the number of days to allow; or de-select this option.
6. Indicate whether to notify the approval originator after the final
approval or after each approval.
7. Indicate what to do on approval completion: check in as a new version,
check in and replace current version, or return to the initiator.
8. Click OK.
