Automate approvals and segregation of duties
Create approval workflows with explicit approver flows so sign-off is separated from preparation, attach them where approvals are needed, and process the queue.
Try it in CybervergentOverview
Route control, evidence, and exception approvals through defined approver flows.
Step-by-step
- 1 In the sidebar, open 'Governance' then 'Workflow' and click 'New Workflow'.
- 2 Set the workflow type and name, choose or write the rule, and add the approver flow with 'Add Approver' so approvers differ from preparers. Submit.
- 3 Attach the workflow where approvals are required, for example on an initiative's Delegate step for evidence sign-off.
- 4 Open 'Governance' then 'Approval' and work the items in the Queue tab.
- 5 Review each item, then approve or reject it and confirm.
- 6 Use the queue as the audit trail that sign-off followed the defined separation of duties.
