About Executing a Workflow

Workflows configured in the Approval Cockpit application are implemented when the workflow specific events are raised in Plant Applications.

Based on the configured workflow, an email notification is sent to the groups participating at different stages of the approval process. The group participants are required to review the workflow request, and provide their approval (or rejection).
Note: A group assigned to a workflow can have 1, 2, 3, or more participants. Emails are sent to all of them to participate in the approval process. Any one participant can approve (or reject) and accomplish the request. The workflow request is removed from the other group participants' task list.

On the Approver Execution tab:

  • You can sort the workflows by their status:
    StatusDescription
    PendingThe workflow for the action event is in progress.
    ApprovedThe workflow for the action event ended with an approved result.
    RejectedThe workflow for the action event ended with a rejected result.
  • Select any workflow to view a history of its current status.

  • Add or modify a monitoring group at any level during workflow execution.

You can perform the following tasks with the workflow requests assigned to you.
