Submitting a Workflow for Approval

Users who do not have the permission to approve a workflow can submit a workflow to a person who does have the permission to approve.

Once the user has completed the steps defined above, the workflow can be submitted for approval. Tasks will not be disseminated until the workflow has been approved. Usually the number of persons having the authority to approve workflows of a certain type is limited. The security definition inherited from a workflow template normally dictates the approval definition.

If the user has approval permission and is authorized to approve the work order, the submission process may be bypassed. A work order can be approved without being submitted.

Follow these steps to submit a workflow for approval.

Open the workflow for which you want to approve.
Complete the required fields on the workflow and its tasks.
When finished, select Submit from the Workflow menu.

The workflow is placed in the Work Exchange Approvals folder, for the person responsible for approving the workflow. Once approved, all task assignments are delivered to the person(s) or skillset(s) responsible for the task.
