Usage

Use this tab to maintain the approval process for:

• A document revision in the Document Revision/Approval tab
• A part revision in the Engineering Part Revision/Approval Process tab
• A project item in the Project Item/App. Routing tab
• A risk analysis in the Risk Analysis Navigator/Analysis Controls/Approval Routing tab
• A forecast version in the Project Forecast Info/Approval Routing tab

Each approval step can have one or more registered persons or groups who will approve or reject the step. This means that you can have parallel approval routings with several person groups able to simultaneously approve an object. Steps must be approved in sequence. A step cannot be approved or rejected if a prior step is awaiting approval (or if that step has been rejected). From the Attachments/approvals, you can display this by clicking Attachments (on the context pane).
