5.4.3 Setting Up an Approval Process for a Page Group

An approval process is a series of one or more approval routing steps. Each routing step includes one or more users, or groups approvers, or both, who must approve an item before it is published. Routing to the approvers can be in serial one at a time or in parallel all at once. Each step can be defined to require a response by any one approver or by all approvers. The approval process begins when a user with the Manage Items With Approval privilege adds or modifies an item on a page. The item is automatically checked out of the portal so that it cannot be modified, and routed through the approval process. Each approver is notified through the Notification or My Worklist portlet that an item requires his or her approval. Once the required number of responses is received during a step, the process continues to the next step. The approval process ends when the final step is reached and the document is approved by the last required approver. The approval process also ends when any approver rejects the item. Note: The Use BPEL Workflow radio button will be enabled, after you complete the BPEL synchronization with Portal. For more information see the Portal Adm.................................
