A workflow is used to track and control documents trough document inception to finalization.
How do we use the approval costing workflow
The SBS - RtR approval workflow is activated in 3 spaces:

DRAFT
When a page is created in one of the 3 spaces with a workflow, it has the status draft.

Once the procedure is finalized, the author of the document changes the status to FOR REVIEW by clicking on the icon![]()

![]()
FOR REVIEW
The status of the page can be changed by someone who belongs to the group:
They are:
If a name if missing in the group costing-reviewers, you can contact SBS support

The author can assign this step to someone who is in the costing-reviewers
click on Assign
- Enter the name of the reviewer (if you can not find the name, it is not included in the costing-reviewers group)
- Enter a comment
- Click "Assign"


PUBLISHED
The procedure is published and accessible for every body

You can check the status of page:
- The status beside the title of the page
- You can see if someone is already in charge of the change of the status
- You can see where you are in the workflow

You can see the history of th workflow by clicking ![]()

When a page is modified it comes back to the status FOR REVIEW
And it has to be reapproved.
The page that is visible by every body is the one that is PUBLISHED
But contributors can see that there is a version "in progress" and can switch from the version "in progress" to PUBLISHED

When a reviewer or an approver is assigned, he:
1. receives a notification by email

2. has a notitification in his box in Confluence

3. has a report of all pages he has to review/approve in "My Comala Workflows Tasks" (to be opened by clicking on his picture on right side of the menu)

4. has a report of all pages he has to review/approve in "My Comala Workflows Tasks" on his home page (=Confluence dashboard)

5. can use the report on the home page of each space to see the status of each document and especially those with a pending validation

FAQ
They are:
The status of the page can be changed by someone who belongs to the group:
They are:
If someone is missing or should be excluded (if you know the person left the company or has a new job), you can contact SBS support
Are you sure you are looking the "in progress" version ? You can switch from the version "in progress" to the version "published" (that doesn't take into account your last modification) by clicking on "published" or "For review"

Strange it works for me, it is video on Youtube done by the developper of the add-on we are using. But it just to give an overview of the tool, the procedure for Solvay is below, it is the most important part.
