Approvals Module

Purpose

A lot of processes in IEEE NITK require approvals, often from several people before anything is put into action. The Approvals module will serve as a generic plug-and-play approval flow system.

Features

• For certain selected resources, approval flows can be generated
• Approval flows can have a chain of 1 or more approvers
• Status of these resources can be determined by fetching the latest approval status
• Approvals can also serve as reminders for generic process flows (for example, tracking submission of letters to DSW can be tracked as an approval flow with approver as Convener)
