"Source language approval task" workflow

The approval workflow for the "source language(s)" comprises a three or four-stage process:

1.: An existing entry, which has not yet been approved, has the status "New". The terminologist can send such an entry for approval in each language at a click of the mouse. This step can also be automated using quickTerm Tools.

2.: The approval task process runs as soon as the approval has started. The respective users receive a notification via e-mail and the approval tasks received appear in the Request management screen in the quickTerm Client.

: The approvers can then approve or reject the individual entries, or abstain from voting, by clicking on the respective buttons. They can also "chat" with each other using the notes function or send a question to the task initiator or any other user. It is particularly useful to enter a note when rejecting an entry or abstaining from voting.

: If configured, quickTerm can automatically document the voting process and manage the status information in the termbase. This means that the approvers do not have to be familiar with the specifics of the termbase. Neither is it necessary to install any terminology software locally on the approver's PC. Nevertheless the exact approval processes can still be viewed in the termbase.

3.: As soon as all the approvers for a language have approved an entry, a main approver can optionally grant final approval or reject the entry (cascaded approval). The status is then "All approved".

4.: If the main approver has also voted, the terminologist receives a notification via e-mail and can either correct the entry in the respective language and restart the approval loop, or give final approval to the entry directly in his quickTerm task box.
