Users can see all documents that they have created (as Document Owner) and the review status. For documents whose status is still "New" it is possible to continue work on the document by clicking "Edit Document". When a document is ready to be reviewed, use "Document Control" and sign off the document - if you wish you can assign a Primary Reviewer.
Once you sign off a document workflow rules automatically trigger 'New Work' and/or an email to the Primary Technical Reviewer and, if you select them, anyone assigned as a Technical Reviewer. With DocMan, a new document can pass through three review stages: (1) Technical , (2) QA , (3) Management, before it is issued. Review stages can be configured to suit your requirements.
When a document is signed off by Management - therefore "Issued" - a message is sent to all readers of the subsection alerting them that there is a new document on their Home page which they need to read and sign as read. Furthermore, within the body of the all emails a link directs the recipient to the document that requires review or reading.
DocMan’s powerful workflow rules take the headache out of managing the circulation of Documents within your organisation.
