Workflow

The Measurement Book (MB) workflow comprises three key roles: the creator, verifier, and approver. Each role is associated with specific actions that contribute to the overall processing and approval of the MB. The workflow typically involves a sequence of actions performed by these roles to ensure accurate documentation, verification, and approval of measurements within the MB.

MB Creator

The MB Creator is responsible for creating and forwarding the measurement book along with worksite photos on the work in progress uploaded.

MB Creator can -

• Save as Draft

• Submit

• Edit MB

Save as Draft

The Save as Draft feature provides users with the capability to create a Measurement Book (MB) and retain it in the creator's inbox for subsequent updates. This functionality allows users to initiate the MB creation process, save the work in progress as a draft, and revisit it later for additional edits or finalization before submission.

Submit

When a Measurement Book is created, it is submitted to the next user in the workflow for verification. Upon selecting the 'submit' action, the system provides the user with the option to either choose a specific user as the verifier or submit it without selecting a verifier.

Edit

If a Measurement Book is sent back to the creator for correction, the MB is placed into the creator's inbox, allowing them to make edits and subsequently re-submit it for verification.

MB Verifier

The MB Verifier is responsible for verifying the measurement book.

MB Verifier can -

• Verify and forward MB

• Send MB back to the originator for correction

Verify and Forward

The 'Verify and Forward' action enables the verifier to forward MB to the approver after completing the verification process and adding the comments if required.

Send Back

The 'Send Back' action provides the verifier with the capability to send the MB back to the creator for necessary corrections.

MB Approver

The Approver verifies the measurement book and ensures the provided measurements are satisfactory and complete according to the work completed.

The Approver can:

• Approve the MB

• Send the MB back to the verifier

• Send the MB back to the originator

• Reject the MB

Approve

The Approve action bestows upon the approver the authority to approve the Measurement Book (MB). Upon approval, the MB attains an immutable status, meaning that it becomes unalterable or resistant to further changes. This step typically signifies the finalization and confirmation of the recorded measurements and associated details within the MB.

Send Back

The Send Back action permits the approver to send the MB back to the previous user in the workflow for necessary corrections, MB is placed into the verifier's inbox, allowing them to take necessary action.

Send Back To Originator

The Send Back To Originator action enables the approver to return the MB to the creator for necessary corrections. The request is placed into the creator's inbox, allowing them to make edits and subsequently re-submit it for verification.

Reject

The Reject action empowers the approver to decline the MB. Once rejected, no further action can be taken on the MB, necessitating the creation of a new MB.
