As an end user you can expect the following new features.

Handling Manuals

Fabasoft Approve now offers the option of creating your own manuals using the “Manual Structures” functionality. These are used for the central storage and organization of project documents and therefore allow flexible structuring. The manual is divided into volumes and chapters, whereby a volume can contain several chapters as well as sub-chapters.

Documents can be assigned to any chapter or sub-chapter from document lists of the entire project (with the corresponding shelves). A special attribute characterizes the assignment of a document to a manual.

It is also possible to send individual volumes by letter to any partner (shelve), including all subordinate chapters and documents.

Requesting a new revision as a supplier

In Fabasoft Approve, it is now possible to request a new revision of a document as a supplier. If a supplier realizes that the existing document is no longer up to date, they can submit a request for a new revision of the document using “Request Revision”.

A process can be defined at the shelf level that comes into effect when a supplier makes a revision request. If no process is defined, the request revision menu is not displayed.

If a process with user interaction is defined, the document owner has the following options for processing this request:

1. Accept: A new revision is created and requested from the supplier.
2. Reject: The request is rejected and a corresponding reason is sent to the supplier.

If a process is stored without user interaction, the request is automatically accepted. As a result, a new revision is created and requested from the supplier.
