Main document review steps

The main stages of a document review are:

Name

Description

Assignment

A document is assigned to a reviewer based on the review plan or the document review matrix. The documents are added to the QA Review workflow, and notifications are sent to the reviewers. A due date is calculated, and a review task appears in the To Do List of each reviewer.

Review

The reviewer carries out the document review, and can add markups to the review. The reviewer can also create an outgoing action or an internal technical query within the review activity. When finished, the reviewer completes the task.

Consolidate

The consolidator collates all the completed document reviews and any related actions. The consolidator reviews all the comments and markup layers for the document, and selects all applicable markup layers for consolidation. The consolidator can also reject the actions from the original document reviewers. The consolidator then sets the return code and completes the task.

Contractual Compliance Review

This is an optional step. The compliance reviewer ensures that the documents comply with the contractual norms.

Issue

After the consolidation task is complete, the actions are initiated to the contractor. These actions appear in the contractor's To Do List and follow an independent life cycle to track their acceptance and closure. The rejected actions are returned to the submitter.

However, if the same revision is submitted for a review with a new issue purpose, the system automatically selects the markup layers created for the current review and not the layers of previous reviews. A consolidator can manage this selection. For more information on how to configure this setting, refer to Navigate client API and its delivered methods.
