How do I ask the customer to approve a document or a budget in the portal?

Steps

  1. Open or create the document in BIM › Documentation › Document › Document and choose the customer's Project.
  2. Check that its Costumer State (status bar at the top) is in Draft.
  3. Notify the customer: in the portal, Documents menu, they will see the Approve and Reject buttons.
  4. For a budget, leave Costumer State in Draft: the customer will see Approve Budget and Reject Budget in the Budgets menu.
  5. When they respond, the Costumer State changes to Approved or Rejected and the change is recorded in the history.
Warning

The customer can only respond once: once approved or rejected, they no longer see the buttons.

On the document record the Costumer State bar cannot be clicked. If you need to request a new approval, create a new document with the next Rev.
