Get Internal CCO Approval
Use Case
With a PDF document of the CCO agreement created, the superintendent sends it internally to the project controls manager and project manager for review.
Within InEight Change, an approval workflow can be set up for approving CCOs. You can then launch the approval process from the Details tab of the CCO record. As users in the workflow are notified, they can review and either approve or reject the change order.
Set Up CCO Approval Workflow
Step 1
Go to Project Settings > Change > Workflow Assignments > CCO approval setup and click Add.
Step 2
Add a Threshold amount, Step title, and select the User, Role or Group for step approval, then click Add.
Step 3
If needed, click Add another step to an additional step to the same threshold.
Step 4
If needed, click Add to add an additional threshold level.
Click Save when finished.
