Start approval process

Start approval process

If you have setup InterFormNG2 to use versioning and combined that with approvals for one or multiple resource types, then you need to setup a workflow, which is able to process the approvals.

 

Such a workflow is setup with the input type: Start approval process and the parameters of this are shown below:

 

NG2StartApprovalProcess001

 

You can setup multiple approval workflows. If you choose to do that, then you need to setup a unique name in the parameter: Approval flow unique name. A list of approval flow unique names is shown when a user want to request approval of a changed resource.

 

This workflow should usually use the workflow components, Await approval and Complete approval process.

 

An example of a approval workflow is found here.
