The Workflow Admin tab is used to manage project workflow notifications and approvals. Using this functionality, the resources will receive project workflow notifications once established. These resources may be designated as budget and/or project change approvers as well. Workflow users may be internal to the organization, or external (not an EcoSys user). External resources may receive workflow notifications but must not be designated as approvers. Approvers must first be set up by an EcoSys Administrator within EcoSys as an EcoSys user (Admin > Core Admin > Users and Security > Maintain Users) and an EcoSys workflow resource (Admin > Core Admin > Resource Admin).

Budget approvers and change approvers must be completely established before a budget or a change is submitted for approval. If modifications to the budget or change approvers are identified after a budget or change has been submitted for approval, the budget or change must be rejected, alterations to the project’s Workflow Admin tab applied and saved, and the budget or change resubmitted for approval.

All approval workflows at all levels execute in parallel, allowing approval by any applicable party at any time following submission.

Default approvers may be set using a template.

Follow the procedure below to establish workflow users for each project template.
