Re: Approvals advice

 

Hey Craig,

Jim is currently working on something new for approvals called workflows.
 (@Jim, please correct me if i'm wrong :))

In your example case you could say you would have two workflows.

Workflow X follows approval levels A, B and C for country 1
Workflow Y follows approval levels B and C for country 2

Or from the description on the blueprint [1]
- Workflows specify which approval levels apply to them, so different
workflows can "skip" any of the approval levels that are defined in the
system. If a workflow does not include the lowest approval level, then
approval for that workflow starts with the lowest approval level that is
included. If a workflow does not include an approval level between two
other levels, then approval proceeds from the next lower level included
directly to the next higher level included. This is more flexible than the
current system where data values belonging to a data set must always be
approved at every level in the system before being approved at the next
higher level.

The workflow can be linked to a dataset.  (If i'm not mistaken this might
mean you need different datasets, they could be identical, but need to be
linked to different workflows)
