Approve or Disapprove Documents

The documents in a package must be approved before they can be released for production.

The following picture shows the workflow.

If any document in a package is not approved when the package is completed, the status of all documents will be set to Not Approved. Only if all the documents are approved will the status of the package be set to Approved.

You must be assigned to the Document Controller, Project Administrator, or Project Owner role to perform this task.

To accept or disapprove documents:

  1. Open the package that contains the documents as described in View Packages.

  2. In the Documents list, select a document that you want to approve or reject.

  3. In the Documents toolbar, click Details.

    The Properties page opens.

  4. In the Properties toolbar, click Approved or Not Approved as appropriate for the document.

    If you click Approved, the status of the document changes immediately.

    If you click Not Approved, a confirmation dialog appears to which you must respond. You may leave the Details page open and select other documents in the Documents list and the Details page will update with information for the selected document. This lets you work with multiple documents more efficiently.
