Publishing Documents with Approval Routing
Using Web Discussion to Review Documents
*****************************I LLEGAL FOR N ON -T RAINER U SE *****************************
After a document is created, it can be shared with others through the workspace This process of making documents available for viewing in the workspace is
called publishing Some documents require approval before they can be
published In such cases, an author creates the document and then sends it out for review to specific people who decide whether the content is accurate and complete You can use Microsoft® SharePoint™ Portal Server 2001 to publish a document without a document approval routing process, or you can use a document approval routing process and then publish the document so that it is available for viewing
After completing this module, you will be able to:
Publish a document that is checked in, and publish a document that is in the process of being checked in without using approval routing
Use approval routing before a document is published
Use Web Discussions to discuss workspace documents with other users
In this module, you will learn
about the document

*****************************I LLEGAL FOR N ON -T RAINER U SE *****************************
Approval routing is a SharePoint Portal Server feature that enables you and others to review and approve workspace documents before publishing them When you apply approval routing to an enhanced folder, documents that are published in that folder are sent through the specified routing process before they are shared with users who have permission to read the documents in that folder The approval process begins when a SharePoint Portal Server author
performs the Publish action on a document Approvers are then notified by
e-mail messages or on the dashboard site
Configuring an Approval Routing Process
Configuring an approval routing process consists of the following steps:
1 Choose the appropriate approvers for the document
2 Provide approver e-mail addresses (optional) to enable SharePoint Portal Server to notify approvers when a document is ready for review
3 Fill out a notification message for SharePoint Portal Server to send to approvers when a document is submitted for their approval
4 Choose an approval route
Topic Objective
To understand the basics of
the document approval
routing process
Lead-in
The document approval
routing process includes a
series of steps that enables
an approver to approve or
reject a document

All at Once Approval (Parallel)
*****************************I LLEGAL FOR N ON -T RAINER U SE *****************************
SharePoint Portal Server includes the following two types of document approval routing processes:
One After Another Approval, the serial approval process
All at Once Approval, the parallel approval process Both types of document approval routing processes send an approval e-mail notification that alerts the approver that a document is awaiting approval after
an author publishes a document If the document is approved, it is published to the SharePoint Portal Server workspace If the document is not approved, or if the approval process is cancelled, the document is returned to a checked-in state In either case, the approvers are notified by e-mail of the status of that document The e-mail notification informs approvers of the type of approval process that is being used, the name of the submitter, and the names of the other approvers
You can assign an approval process only to an enhanced folder If you try
to assign an approval process to a standard folder, you will receive a message asking you to verify that you want to change the standard folder to an enhanced folder You can change an empty folder to an enhanced folder, but you cannot change a folder with documents in it to an enhanced folder
Topic Objective
To describe the two
approval routes that are
available and how to
configure each one
Lead-in
Selecting the appropriate
approval route is influenced
by the type and sensitivity of
the documents to be
reviewed
Note
Trang 12One After Another Approval Process
One After Another Approval, the serial approval process, involves sending a document for approval to a list of approvers in sequence The first approver in the list receives a Request-For-Approval notification when the document is
submitted for publishing by using the Publish command Each approver on the
list must approve the document before the next approver on the list receives the request notification
The document is published only after all approvers have approved the document If any approver rejects the document, the approval process is cancelled and the document is returned to a checked-in state When the document is approved or rejected or the approval process is cancelled, the approvers can be notified by e-mail about the status of the document
All at Once Approval Process
All at Once Approval, the parallel approval process, involves sending a document for approval to multiple approvers at the same time This approval process option is appropriate when several approvers with differing roles must review and approve a document This approval process enables you to choose one of two approval strategies: single parallel approval or all parallel approval
Single Parallel Approval
The single parallel approval option requires the approval of only one approver
to publish a routed document For example, if a document is sent to three approvers, SharePoint Portal Server publishes the document when the first person approves it This option is appropriate for time-sensitive documents that cannot tolerate delay because a single approver is unavailable
All Parallel Approval
The all parallel approval option requires all approvers to approve the document before it can be published For example, because a group of approvers must review a corporate report detailing an organization’s five-year financial plan, the parallel approval option is used to send an e-mail notification requesting that each approver review the document This option is appropriate for documents that require unanimous approval
Trang 13Assigning an Approval Routing Path
After you have determined which approval process to use, you must assign that approval route to the folder
To assign an approval routing to a folder:
1 In the workspace, right-click the enhanced folder that you want to work
with, and then click Properties
2 On the Properties page of the folder, click on the Approval tab, and select the Documents must be approved before publishing box
3 Click Add and select all the approvers Click Add and then click OK
4 On the Properties page of the folder, under Route to approvers section click either One after another or Only one approval required
5 If you select All At Once as the route, in the list click either All approve or Only one approval required
6 If you select One after another arrange the approvers for the approval
process using the arrow buttons
7 Click OK
Trang 14Allowed to approve documents in a specific folder
*****************************I LLEGAL FOR N ON -T RAINER U SE *****************************
Although SharePoint Portal Server assigns roles that enable users to access files through the workspace, these roles have no function in the document approval routing process Therefore, the tasks of an approver are separate from the three primary SharePoint Portal Server roles: coordinator, author, and reader Further, because an approver also acts as a reader, making a user an approver has no effect on the other SharePoint Portal Server roles that user has been assigned
Coordinator Responsibilities
A coordinator has the following responsibilities:
A coordinator is responsible for setting up the document approval routing process and assigning approvers to specified enhanced folders
A coordinator can make changes to a folder approval process, but those changes affect only documents that are submitted for approval after those changes are made Changes to the approver routing process for a document will not affect documents that are already under approval
A coordinator can assign the tasks of an approver to anyone in a domain or a trusted domain.
A coordinator can override the approval process and can approve a document so that it can be published regardless of an approver’s actions
Approver Responsibilities
Approvers have the following responsibilities:
An approver can accept a document, which may result in its publication, or continue with any other requirements of the document approval routing type
An approver can reject a document, which causes the document approval routing process to stop
Topic Objective
To present the difference
between the primary
SharePoint Portal Server
roles and the tasks of an
approver
Lead-in
The coordinator is
responsible for setting up
and assigning the approval
route, including assigning
the approver role to existing
workspace users
