17. 25.11.2015 – Slide 17 5. Forward with Rights Can be used on sending and signing Always check “Re-sign after these approvals”, if not: complete delegation of responsibilities Grants forwardee access to the same fields as the signatory Should be used to involve another person with same/similar responsibilities Should never be used by staff member on sending the report after creation in order to involve SV (and/or GL), because –…SV would not have access to his assessment fields –…SV’s signature during the real routing would be skipped –...SV has automatically read and write access to the report during the edition phase, independently on the creator. Easy: Staff member communicates EDH doc.no. to SV! Therefore: use to be limited to SV and GL!
