Detailed Descriptions of Approval Type and Approver

The detailed description for approval types and approvers that can be selected when specifying approval lines is as follows.

  • Approval Type

The approval types provided by Manage Approval include Consent, Automatic Consent, Agreement, Parallel Approval, and Parallel Agreement. According to the approval type name set by each form (when Set Name by Form is set to ‘Use’ in the ‘Manage Name’ menu), it can be displayed with different names. If the admin has set Set Name by Form to Not Use, then approval type names set by the admin are displayed on all forms.

The following describes each approval type.

  • When sequential approval is allowed to be used, the user can add sequential approvers within parallel approval (agreement) when creating documents. See Approval Type for more information about sequential approval.
Approval Type Description
Consent
(= General Approval, General)
A general approval method that agrees to the document approval and passes it to the next approver
Automatic Consent
(= Referenced Approval, Referenced, Notification)
A method that automatically agrees to the document approval and passes it to the next approver, which is the same as the concept of generally used referenced approval
It is displayed on the approval line, but there is no need to agree manually. Notifications are submitted whenever automatic consent is processed
Agreement
(= Agreement Approval, Cooperation)
An approval type that is processed identically as Consent, but the approval is made by an external handler that is not on the internal approval line
It is labeled as Agreement in the user's page
Parallel Approval An approval type where multiple approvers process the document on the same level at the same time
Parallel Agreement An approval type that is processed identically as Parallel Approval, but the approval is made by an external handler that is not on the internal approval line
It is labeled as Parallel Agreement in the user's page
Sequential Approval An approval type where the document is processed according to the order added within Parallel Approval or Parallel Agreement
It is labeled as Sequential Approval in the user's page

According to the approval type, whether you can change the order of each approver on the approval line differs. Approvers for Consent, Automatic Consent, Agreement can be moved to before or after the Parallel Approval or Agreement, but can't be included in that Parallel Approval. Approvers grouped in an Parallel Approval or Agreement can change positions with each other within that order, but this does not change the processing order.

  • Approver

The following describes approvers that can be added to approval lines.

Approver Conditions Available for Selection Description Whether Automatic Consent and Parallel Approval/Agreement Are Available
Nth superordinate department head Always available for selection It automatically imports the creator's 1 to Nth superordinate department heads. It can be specified up to the number of department levels in the company O

Enter Manually Always available for selection Specify the approver by manually entering the employee/department name O
  • If Department is set as the approver, the user must select one employee from the department when creating the document.
  • If a department is set as the approver in Enter Manually, then all employees of that department are specified as approvers, and any employee affiliated with the department at the time of approval can approve. (For more information, see Approve Document.)

You can change the order of added approvers by dragging and dropping, or delete them by clicking .

When using as a corporate group, if an employee of the primary company or an employee of the concurrent company is registered in the Nth parent department head, they are automatically applied as approvers. When searching by the employee name, you can search and select any employee in the corporate group.

Detailed Descriptions of Approval Line Conditions

Creating Approval Document From External Solution

The following describes how to use the WORKS Approval forms to create documents from other solutions your company is using.
See the diagram below for the flow of creating and reporting documents.

For more information, see the detailed step-by-step description below.

Step1. Create a new form you want to use from ‘Manage Approval > Manage Form > Create Form’.

  • When creating a new from, you need to select ‘Report from outside’ in the ‘Basic Information’ tab to be able to use it from external solutions. (See New Form)
  • Edit the form by adding components by format for the entire data to be sent to WORKS Approval.
  • You can set the approval line, sharing target, and recipient if necessary. (See ‘Manage Approval > Manage Form > Set Approval Line, Sharing Settings, and Set Recipient’.)
    • If the admin hasn't set up the approval line and sharing target, the creator can add them when filling out the form. (See Create Approval Document)

Step2. After checking the provided API reference document, generate a URL to use the form you created in Step 1.

  • For more information on how to generate it, see ‘Create External Approval Document API’.

Step3. If you use the URL generated in Step 2, a pop-up window opens with the initial data filled out in the Fill Form page. Check the data and report it for approval.

  • For components whose ‘Enter when reporting’ option is set to Available upon creating a new form, you can enter the desired data in the Fill Form pop-up window.
    • This option can be set when creating a new form.
  • If necessary, you can add the approval line, sharing target, and recipient in the Fill Form pop-up window.

Step4. When document is successfully reported for approval, the specified destination URL opens.

  • You're directed to the destination URL specified with the document ID (ApprovaldocId). This destination URL can be set when creating a new form. If the destination URL hasn't been set, you're directed to the View Document page.
  • A popupDocKey is issued when the document is reported for approval, and its value is the only key issued upon successful API.

Step5. Depending on the processing status of the reported document, you can view it in each of the respective document box in ‘Approval Home > Approval Document’. If you want to receive events that occur during the processing process of the document, see ‘Manage Approval > Developer Tool’ for various uses.
