eForm Routing & Workflow

eForm Signature & Action Logs

eForm Workflow• Forms begin with the Business Manager verification

and then workflow to:– Employee for certification– Primary Supervisor of Employee for certification– Principal Investigators (of applicable projects) for

certification• Email notifications will sent at each step alerting the

individual an action is needed. • Employees, Supervisors, and PI(s) have the option to

recycle the form if corrections are needed. • If a form is recycled by an individual, it will return to

the Business Manager (and an email notification will be generated)

• A Form will also be automatically recycled if a retro funding change is processed that affects or changes an already created effort report (regardless of where it is in the approval routing).

eForm Status

eForm Status Options• Business Manager – Receives the reports in

“Saved” status and submits or releases them to Employees for certification.

• Employees, Supervisors, & PIs receive the reports in “Pending” status (because they are pending approval)

• If a report is recycled by a PERSON at any point, the report will return to the Business Manager in a “Partially Approved” Status

• If a report is recycled by the SYSTEM it will return to “Saved” status.

• Once a report is fully certified, the report status is “Executed”.

Use View Option to review form status, not Update! (to prevent accidently restarting workflow)
