MAINTAIN APPROVAL CLASSES

Approval Classes provide the ability to create workflow approval paths. When a request is submitted to add new content or to change existing content, WSD looks at the Approval Class to determine the workflow stage into which the new request will be placed, as follows:

If the user creating a new request has been assigned an Approval Class by the User Administrator, the new request will be placed in the Default Workflow Stage for the assigned Approval Class.
If the user has not been assigned an Approval Class, and the subdirectory for the content associated with the new request has an assigned Approval Class, the request will be placed into the Default Workflow Stage for that Approval Class.
Otherwise the request will be placed in the Default Submission Stage for the Default Approval Class assigned on the System Configuration screen.

After an Approval Class is created, it may be associated with either specific site segments or individual users in one of the following ways:

Assigned to a specific subdirectory via the Directory Properties screen accessed from Maintain Web Site .
Assigned to a specific WSD user via the User Permissions screen accessed from User Administration .

This screen provides a list of Approval Classes that have been added to your installation of WSD, and depending on your permissions, provides access to screens where you may add new Approval Classes, and edit or delete existing Approval Classes.

FUNCTIONS:

ADD NEW CLASS	Select this button to display the Add New Approval Class screen. Note: If you later decide to add new workflow stages and groups that are required for the Approval Class you will be adding, you must use the Edit Class function to update the Approvals Needed so WSD will enforce their use.
EDIT CLASS	First select the Approval Class to be edited from the Approval Classes list. Then select this function to display the Edit Approval Class screen.
DELETE CLASS	1) Select the name of the Approval Class to be deleted from the Approval Classes list. 2) Click DELETE CLASS. The Confirm Delete Approval Class screen displays and allows you to either confirm or cancel the deletion request. 3) To complete the Delete Class function and return to this screen, click DELETE
RETURN	Select this function to return to the System Administration screen
