approval workflow?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>This isn't trivial but would be possible. This is me riffing
and would need refining.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>First of all, I would add tickbox fields for levels of
signoff. ie. signoffA and signoffB and signoffC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Next I would use conditionals on the "workflow" XML file to
modify it as follows.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In the main <flow> section, use a <when>
condition to split behaviour for the 3 stages of the buffer to
add additional stages to the end IF the user has the
appropriate parameters. At an extreme level you can write a
plugin function that takes the user and eprint as inputs and
returns true if they have the right to approve it at stage
a/b/c.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If signoffA is false and the user can approve level A on this
EPrint, they see the levelA approve stage which has the
signoffA tickbox on it and they can set it to true.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If signoffA is true, but signoffB is false and the user can
approve level B, the see the levelB approve stage which has
the signoffB tickbox<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Similar for signoffC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The validation for publishing makes "signoffC" approval a
required field so it can't be published without signoffC being
set.<o:p></o:p></p>
<pre><flow><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> <stage ref="type"/><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> <stage ref="files"/><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> <stage ref="core"/><o:p></o:p></pre>

<p>This is utterly untested but gives some ideas I hope.
