Advanced Workflow - User Essentials

Introduction – (ECN) Example

Once an ECN record has been rejected from workflow, its assigned documents are automatically updated by removing their “ No Life-Cycle ” status so they can be CHECKED-OUT again, allowing the assigned designer to update the documents accordingly:

Once the assigned design files have been correctly updated, they will need to be CHECKED-IN again before the ECN record can be re-submitted into workflow. NOTE: As noted earlier, to submit an ECN record to workflow, its associated parts must be in a CHECKED-IN state

Once the assigned workflow decision makers have approved the ECN record, the ECN record is approved out of workflow and its associated parts are automatically RELEASED at their noted Major revision (B in the figure below):

NOTE: The processes of creating additional ECR records, new Major and/or Minor revisions, and additional ECN records can be repeated as needed throughout the document’s life time.
