Sign-Off
States

Edit Approval & Sign-OffTM Create Sign-Off States:

• You can create as many Individual ISO Sign-Off States as Required
• You assign to each ISO Sign-Off State one or more User Group(s)

Note

Sign-Off States can have one or more of it's Users or User Groups play the Role(s) of "Document" Approvers.

Examples of Sign-Off States:

• Development (3 Sign-Off Users)
• Tryout(3 Sign-Off User Groups)
• Pre-Production(2 Sign-Off Users and 2 Sign-Off User Groups)
• ,Etc.!

Sign-Off
Flow Charts

Create Sign-Off Flow Charts:

• You can create as many Individual ISO Flow Charts as Required
• You can assign as many Individual Sign-Off States as Required for each Flow Chart
• You can configure each Sign-Off State by selecting Approver(s)
• You can have the Approvers in a set order or random

Note

At this stage you have created the Flow Charts which are the Entities that get assigned to ShopNCFiles, ShopDocuments or ShopOperations. Before a ShopNCFile, ShopDocument or ShopOperation is Approved for Production each Sign-Off State needs individual Approval.

Assigning
Sign-Off
Flow Charts

Assigning Flow Charts:

• Select a ShopNCFile, ShopDocument or ShopOperation
• Select a Flow Chart from: ShopDocuments, ShopNCFiles, ShopOperations or Flow Charts
• Select a Specific Flow Chart from one of the Lists
• Optionally create & assign On-The-Fly Flow Charts for one-offs

Automatic
Reminder

Users Reminded of Files Waiting for Approval:

• Users notified when ShopNCFiles need Approval
• Users notified when ShopDocuments need Approval
• Users notified when ShopOperations need Approval

Note

Edit Approval & Sign-OffTM allows a particular User or any User in a User Group to Sign-Off & Approve ShopNCFiles waiting for approval for that User Group/Sign-Off State. It only reminds them when it's their turn to Sign-Off these ShopNCFiles, ShopDocuments and or ShopOperations.

How
It Works

Edit Approval & Sign-OffTM How it Works

In essence using the Edit Approval & Sign-Off methodology requires that a "File" traverses a list of Sign-Off States which individually need to be approved before that "File" is fully Approved for "Production".

As the UnApproved "File" traverses the Sign-Off States a User can only access the "File" associated with a particular Sign-Off State if it is in a Pending Approval State. Once it has been approved for that Sign-Off State a User can no longer access that "File" in that Sign-Off State.

By placing Users in the Appropriate User Group/Sign-Off State Combinations you have full control over who can access Unapproved "Files".
