Markup and Approval

Document Markup and Approval

A centralized platform where you can stay informed of events, collaborate on documents, manage projects and tasks.

Markup and approval processes can suffer from a series of complications, even if a digital process is used, many still find delays in getting their documents approved in a timely manner.

DocMinder^®Markup and Approval allows manager(s), client(s) and decision-maker(s) to automatically route documents to the responsible individual(s) for markup and approval.

Once approved, documents can automatically flow to the next workflow step in the process so others may collectively markup and approve documents with collaboration tools.

When you use an existing template, everything is copied over, instructions, notifications, recipients, documents and more. Templates can be configured as basic tasks, checklists, surveys, and workflows.

Recipients receive their task notification

After recipients are assigned to the task(s), they receive automated email notifications based on a pattern and the frequency you choose.

Email notifications include the task's subject, instructions or details, due date, a link to the Progress Page and can include attached copies or links to supporting documents.

Recipients update tasks from the progress page

The Progress Page displays an interface based on the task type and allows the assigned recipients to add comments, upload documents and ultimately, complete the assigned task.
