# Describe ReleaseSubmitWorkflow here.
 
= Release-Submit Workflow =


== Requirements ==

 1. Ability to separate the final ''release'' of a revision from its ''distribution'' (e.g. the Submittal)

 1. NOK wants a final ''Freigabe'' that occurs after all the approvals have been successfully completed

 1. To reduce the number of workflows, we will also implement a N/A approval status:
   * If an approval status is set to '''N/A''', then the approval is note required
   * This means that the a four-approval workflow can always be used and the unnecessary approvals be set to N/A. 
   * When a status is set to N/A then:
     * The complete date must be empty
     * The plan data can be set or be empty
     * A user can be assigned to the step (who might be the user that decided that N/A is correct), but is ignored

 1. Requested by NOK, using the following terminology:
   * ''Zustimmung'' = Approval
   * ''Freigabe'' = Release
   * ''Verteilen'' = Submit

== Technical Solution ==

 1. Table '''Approval``Status``Typ``Ref''' - Add new record:
   * '''N/A''' - Not required

 1. Table '''Document``Work``Flow``Typ``Ref''' - Add new records:
   * '''DCAAAAR''' - Design-Check-Approve..-Release
   * '''RCAAAARS''' - Receive-Check-Approve..-Release-Submit
   * '''DCAAAAR''' - Design-Check-Approve..-Release
   * '''RCAAAARS''' - Receive-Check-Approve..-Release-Submit

 1. '''app/Settings-Validations.php''' - Add/modify validations:
   * Implement main validation rules for:
     * '''DCAAAAR'''
     * '''RCAAAARS'''
     * '''DCAAAAR'''
     * '''RCAAAARS'''
   * Implement special status rule (exception) for N/A status
   * Implement complete date check exception for N/A status
   * Maturity rules for new workflows

 1. Implement new '''workflow templates''':
   * For display in document detail (output templates)
   * For data entry in revision new/update (input templates)

 1. Implement updates to '''app/lib/DrawingRevisionJoinSet.php''':
   * Maturity 
   * Background color
   * Other items (search for case statements of workflow codes in app/lib and app/model)
