Workflow states
This workflow is ideal for teams that need to demonstrate compliance with guidelines, rules, or standards. This could include ISO standards, FDA regulations, or even internal corporate standards. The workflow utilizes multiple states.
Workflow State | Description |
---|---|
Draft |
|
In Approval |
Assigned reviewers are emailed when the state changes to In Approval. These custom notifications are created by a JSON trigger added to the workflow |
Published |
|
Obsolete |
|
If a copy of the QMS workflow is saved then for the new workflow, assigned reviewers can add (and remove) other users as additional reviewers (except those users assigned by the workflow as reviewers).
Adding or removing a label or attachment does not action the updated transition when the content is in the In Approval, Obsolete or Published state. This transition only occurs if the content is edited and published (changing the Confluence page version).

E-signature in the QMS workflowBoth approvals in this workflow is to require users to use their email and a one-time password (OTP) to confirm their identity when registering an approval. Approvals (content reviews) will be are disabled in the workflow popup until the email and a token are entered. Reviewers are prompted to setup a personal code when they first visit a page in the content review state and access the workflow popup. As a reviewer, to be able to electronically sign for Document Approvals you will need:
This setup only needs to be undertaken by a user once in each instance. However, the 2FA app tokens from the OTP provider are time-limited.
|
You will need to use a time based token generated by the authentication app each time you approve a page that requires an e-signature approval.
oIf inWebo is enabled for user authentication, the workflow popup will display displays a request for a username and password (not an OTP token). The required password is the inWebo generated token.
All the approvals in the workflow (in both the Draft and In Approval states) in the default workflow will require each reviewer to confirm their identity using their email and a third party generated token.
The email and token are validated when the Approve or Reject decision is made by the reviewer for the content review.
The requirement for an e-signature is activated or deactivated for each individual approval in the workflow.
oIf the e-signature requirement is removed for either or both of the approvals (or any other changes using workflow builder) the workflow
needs to be saved as a custom workflow in your space.
