Introduction

Workflow process of approvals in the IAF.

Article Body

There are various approvals throughout the workflow process of an IAF. Approvers will receive an “ACTION REQUIRED:” email when an IAF is ready for their approval. An approval requires an approver to agree to all assurance statements (see “IAF Assurance Approval Statements”) based on the content of the IAF. An approver will have an opportunity to leave an approval comment that will be recorded into the notes section of the IAF Summary.  An approval is completed once the approver presses the “I Approve” button.

The Submit To OSP Email Notification displays asking if the user would like to notify all other approvers that the proposal is complete and the IAF has been submitted to OSP.  An approver may Submit to OSP select Yes or No to send notification to all other approvers once the Submit to OSP button is pressed.

Once the Submit to OSP button is pressed the PDF is Generated and Uploaded.  Approver can then press ok.
