This table lists the controlled document libraries and the approval workflow for each. For each reviewer, indicate if their approval is required to move the review to the next stage, and if they have authority to publish a document.
You can assign more than one user to each workflow status (or step) on the Approval Workflow tab. The configuration must be identical for each user, i.e. the same workflow status, sequence, and setting of the Publisher check box. When multiple users are assigned to a workflow status and the status is met, each user will receive an email notification informing them of the assignment and any of those users will be able to review, reject, approve, or publish (depending on the workflow status) the document. Once the document has been dealt with by of its assigned users, the other assigned uses will not be able to execute the option(s) for that status and the document will move to the next step/status in the workflow. However, if an assigned user rejects a document, the document owner will be notified of the rejection and any one of the users assigned to the workflow status will again be able to review, reject, approve, or publish (depending on the workflow status) the document.
To create a swimlane view for the library, on the Document Library tab, choose Actions»Create Swimlane View. In the Document Control module, all documents in the selected library will display in a swimlane view, with a column for each reviewer in the same order as they appear in the Approval Workflow tab in this table.
