Introduction Welcome to RooDocs Workflow. In 2015 the Registrar s Office began replacing paper processing with Electronic Document Workflow. Student Records and Curriculum documentation are now submitted electronically via E- forms, or scanned into the RooDocs electronic archive for processing through RooDocs Workflow. With Workflow, Austin College Staff and Faculty will: Receive an email notification that a document submitted needs review Open RooDocs Archive and RooDocs Workflow to view the document Review and Approve or Not Approve submitted items electronically Receive an email notification when a Workflow item has been Approved or Not Approved In addition, Faculty and Staff will be able to see where in the process any document submitted is as it is being processed. To set the stage, a faculty member wants to offer a Special Topics course and has completed the Special Topics Course Submission Form online. He/She was able to access a link to this form from the Forms Repository on the Registrar s Office website, www.austincollege.edu/registrar/. Once the faculty member has completed the form and clicked SUBMIT, it is sent through a linear electronic workflow for tasks to be completed and approvals. Special Topics Review Process Faculty member submits form Registrar's Office sets up workflow Chair/Program Director reviews Dean reviews VPAA and Curriculum Committee reviews Registrar enters into schedule of classes This document continues with detailed directions for navigation in the workflow for each workstep in the linear process outlined above. www.ecmtoolbox.com 2
