Procedure documentationRunning Manual Approval Process

Procedure

In contract version management, you can define an approval process to manage the content approval of a contract version.

  1. You must first define the number of approval levels and then assign agents to each approval level. This process verifies that the content in the new version has been reviewed and approved before it is processed back to the original contract.

  2. The initiator informs the next level approver via email that content approval is required from them.

    Note Note

    If the approver is a group, then approval from only one person in that group is required progress to the next level.

    End of the note.
