Serial Approval
This workflow is designed for a serial approval process. It is considered a rigid
flow. That is, the review path is fixed. Individual reviewers can not choose
who they will forward the item to. Reviewers can cc, notify, or discuss the
item with pre-determined members.
The number of steps is variable. This can be considered a peer approval where
the entire set of steps must be completed.
When a form is "auto-pushed" to the next step, some form data/status
communicates that this was "moved forward without approval". As the
document flows through the process, each down stream approver will see the
upstream approver's data.
This workflow can be used with the following form: Approval.
Serial approval workflow options:
Creator In this tab you are choosing who can create a form in this
particular workflow. Note that administrators can always create forms.
Choose which members can create this workflow: all members, specific
individuals, groups, or roles. You can also select who the creator can notify
or discuss the form with.
Reviewers In this tab you are choosing individual members who can
review a form and with whom the form can be discussed. You can also
specify how many days a member has to respond to an item and when a
reminder notice should be sent. If the reviewer does not respond in the
time allotted you can configure the workflow so that the form is
"auto-pushed" to the next reviewer. This prevents the form from getting
stuck.
You can also choose to notify all users when routing is complete.
General In this tab you are choosing who can view the forms associated
with this workflow: all project members, only individuals who have been
assigned or notified during the workflow, or specific individuals, groups,
or roles.
