Reviewer flow

Once the initiator has sent out the Document in the PAC it will follow workflow steps. As a first step in the workflow process, the document needs to be reviewed by the reviewer, and after reviewer approval it will be sent to the recipient – employee for whom this document is created.

This is just an example, workflows can be customized.

The reviewer of the document will receive an email notification that there is a document that needs to be looked at.

Approval/rejection and signing actions are all done on the ESS – Employee Self Service side.

Reviewers will see the documents module in the ESS, there are two tabs: My documents and Approvals.

Reviewer needs to do actions in the Approvals view. Approvals view has three tabs:

  • In progress – where documents that need to be reviewed are
  • Completed – once document is approved it will move to completed tab
  • Rejected – when document is rejected it will move to rejected tab

By clicking on the document row, the document opens up.

In document view the document itself is displayed to the user and on the right side it is possible to see workflow and download the document if necessary.

The reviewer is able to either reject the document by clicking on Reject button, for rejection reason is always required.

After providing the rejection reason document status and details will be updated accordingly.

The reviewer is able to approve the document by clicking on Accept button, after this workflow step will get updated accordingly and document will be sent to second workflow step.
