Multiple Reviewers
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Multiple reviewers
A content review can have more than one assignee.
If more than one reviewer is assigned to a content review then all the assignees must agree on the approval decision to approve or reject the content.
Most content reviews in the Document Control workflows are assignable - users can be assigned using the workflow popup when in the content review state.
One or more users are assigned automatically by the workflow to the content review In Approval workflow state the Quality Management Systems workflow. This content review does not have the option to manually assign a user as a reviewer.
Manual assignment of one or more reviewers
Simply choose +Add Reviewer, search, and assign the required number of reviewers:
You can type two letters to search for each individual and add them at one time or you can add reviewers later simply by using the plus icon in the workflow popup.
reviewers can be added one at a time or several at a time.
choose to Add a note to send a note with the notification of the content review assignment to the assignee(s).
The avatars for each assignee are added to the workflow popup for the content review.
Each of the assignees can either approve or reject the content.
Each assignee decision is shown in the workflow pop-up.
If six or more reviewers are assigned to a content review the workflow popup will not display all reviewer avatars. Instead, an icon will be added displaying the number of additional reviewers not displayed.
Choose this icon to display a dialog box showing read-only details of the approvers assigned to the content review.
Multiple reviewers and transitions
If there is more than one assigned reviewer, then all the reviewers must agree on the content review decision before the state will transition.
Only assigned reviewers who have not yet added an approval decision can be unassigned from the content review.
All individual decisions are recorded in the document activity.
Individual reviewers can change their decision up to the point that all reviewers agree on a decision.
