Processing Approval Requests

  1. Choose > Assets > Approvals > Upload approvals > To Be Processed.

    This opens an overview page displaying the upload approvals that you still have to process.

  2. Click Menu… > Set approval

    This opens the detailed view of the asset in a pop-up window.

  3. Choose Approve to approve the import to the VDB that requires approval. Choose Reject to reject the import to the VDB that requires approval.

    Note

    You only ever process the workflow step for which you are responsible. If additional workflow steps are defined for the approval, then the asset is forwarded within the defined workflow. If you do not grant approval, the asset is deleted immediately.

  1. If you do not grant approval, enter the reason in the field Reason for rejection.

  2. If no step to reset the workflow to is specified in the workflow settings: Choose the step to which the approval workflow is set.

  3. Choose Finalize <Name of workflow>.

The asset is now assigned to the VDB requiring approval and can be accessed by other users.

If the approval request is rejected, the user who made the request receives a system message. The request is listed under > Assets > Approvals > Approvals > History > Received Rejections. The asset cannot be accessed by other users.

Note

If you want to grant multiple requests simultaneously, select the requests, click the lower MenU… button and then Provide without visual watermark.
