As a Manager, it is your responsibility to "traffic" your approval processes. You can do this in two ways:
Pre-emptively, by setting auto-routing rules for each stage when you define the proof workflow (or modify them when a proof is in process)
Reactively, by manually routing proofs to various stages in response to the progress and results of the review
It is important to understand that these two ways of routing are not exclusive of each other. As a manager, you can set up proof auto-routing rules, but still intervene with manual routing as you see fit. With either method, the goal is to help ensure that proofs are reviewed as efficiently as possible. Because of this, you should keep tabs on all proofs you are managing even if you have implemented auto-routing for all stages.
Procedures
Manually routing proofs
View the details of an approval process by clicking Manage on a proof in your management worklist.
Click the Route link in the active stage. A context menu will appear, allowing you to select the stage you want to route the proof to.
When manually routing proofs, you will have the option to create a Manager's Note and set the due date and time for the destination stage.
Completing a stage
View the details of an approval process by clicking Manage on a proof in your management worklist.
Click the Route link in the active stage and select Complete in the context menu. The stage will be completed.
If you complete a stage that has a "Move to next step on completion" auto-routing rule, the next stage will become active immediately.
Adding and removing reviewers from stages
Note: Reviewers can be assigned by the manager to any stage that has not yet been completed. A stage has already been completed cannot have reviewers added to it unless the stage is first made active.
Click the Edit link below the list of assigned reviewers or producers in a stage (See thumbnail, Step 1). A popup list of reviewers (or producers) will appear (See Thumbnail, Step 2).
To Remove an Assigned User: Deselect the checkbox corresponding to the user name and click OK (See thumbnail, Step 2).
To Add a User: Click the Add Reviewer link (for Review Stages) or the Add Staff link (for Production Stages). A popup list of users will appear (See thumbnail, Step 3). Browse to and select a user to add to the stage.
