Stage 3 Approver Acceptance: To complete the Approver Acceptance stage the Approver needs to be assigned and accept the document as complete.   The drop-down menu shows all staff that have been assigned roles in the project under the Disciplines tab who can be chosen to be the approver of the document. In this example - The preview document shows an example of the completed pdf document with Alistair Ashcroft-Structural Principal as the author but as it’s not yet signed this indicates it hasn’t been accepted.

Approver Assigned: The Assigned Approver can preview the document if required (by clicking the blue 'Preview Document' box)and either Accept (green box in the Stage 2 menu option field) or Reject (red box in the Stage 2 menu option field) the document based on whether they believe the document is complete and ready to go to Stage 4 Distribute Document Stage. They will need to change the Issue number at this point if they have made changes to the document. 

In this example – The Approver Acceptance is assigned to Alistair, note: the signature shows in the document once Alistair accepts the document. 

At any stage during this process the author can add Notes to the document. These notes can be viewed by any staff member who is viewing the document.  It would be expected that if an approver is to reject the document they will add a note to inform the author of the document why they have rejected it.
