One of the routines we are thinking this system might be useful for is creating AR's. This would entail:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>1) A group of managers would be the only ones with access to this space.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2) Any manager can start an AR</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>3) All other managers need to approve the proposed AR</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>4) Once all managers have approved/rejected, it is sent to Pres</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>5) Once Pres has approved/reject, it is either written to PDF and published or rejected</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So I am thinking I will need:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>1 main space called AR - (with access limited to certain users)</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>1 space (drafts) - where each AR begins life with a template</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>1 space for each manager - So each can approve or reject</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>1 space for Pres - So he can approve or reject</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>1 space for published</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I realize that this is a very minor overview of the process and many rules will need to be built in order for this work for my needs. But I am wondering if I am taking the correct approach or if my thinking is off kilter? </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any suggestions or confirmations greatly appreciated. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I would also like to know if there is a way to tag the document with each managers input as it goes through the process. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Thanks again</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 14 Nov 2006 21:06:11 GMT danderson 2006-11-14T21:06:11Z WorkFlow - Approval process https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/workflow-approval-process/m-p/65065#M41126 Well it seems my questions are just burning up this Support Form!
