Contribution chain

The contribution chain is enabled per organization, with a configurable default workflow.

The contribution chain is the review workflow for the bid specification by the areas that must contribute before approving it. The typical route is Health & Safety, Labor and Management Control, with an optional final approver.

How it works

1. With the bid specification in draft, send it to the chain. It moves to Under review.
2. Each link receives the document, adds its requirements (for example, H&S adds safety and induction requirements; Labor, personnel conditions; Management Control, administrative requirements) and passes it to the next.
3. Progress is shown in the bid specification's stepper: which stage it's in and what's left.
4. Once the chain is complete (and the final approval if configured), the bid specification becomes Approved.

Notes

• The order and the participants in the workflow are defined by your organization; it can be adjusted per bid specification when sending it.
• Each area's contributions are integrated into the document and traced in the history.
• An approved bid specification that is edited again must go through the workflow once more if your process requires it.
