1st CVS Commit of Document Approval Workflow
The initial code for the MyDMS lifecycle workflow has been committed to CVS. This is not a feature complete system yet, as it only supports the forward flow. In other words, you can submit a document and assign reviewers and approvers to it, and the system will manage the process properly, but there is no system for handling exceptions or re-assigning reviewers/approvers. The full workflow system will be completed by the end of next week, with a beta package expected w/c 17th that includes upgrade documentation.
The system makes some changes to the database, and there is no proper upgrade SQL script yet — you should be able to run the install script against an existing database, but it’s not something I can recommend. While I encourage users to try out the new system, I won’t be held responsible for lost data or productivity!
