00:00: This presentation provides an overview of approval workflows within FileBound.

00:05: Understanding these workflows is crucial for streamlining document management and

00:09: ensuring compliance within your organization.

00:13: Let's begin by understanding approval workflows in FileBound.

00:17: This presentation will guide you through the process, highlighting key aspects and

00:21: benefits of using these workflows to streamline your document management.

00:27: FileBound uses approval workflows for various document types, including invoices, contracts,

00:31: employee action requests, and mileage.

00:36: Once information is submitted, it requires review and approval by different

00:40: individuals within the organization before final approval.

00:44: This ensures accuracy and compliance.

00:48: Here's how the invoice workflow looks.

00:51: Depending on the dollar amount, invoices follow a specific approval path.

00:56: This path includes the submitter, accountant review, manager, director, VP, CFO, and

01:03: potentially the CEO for amounts exceeding $25,000.

01:09: Here's how the invoice workflow looks.

01:12: Depending on the dollar amount, invoices follow a specific approval path.

01:17: Starting with the submitter, the invoice goes to an accountant for review.

01:22: Managers can approve up to $2,500, Directors can approve up to $5,000 and so on

01:30: Now let's examine the contract workflow.

01:33: Contract approvals aren't based on a specific dollar amount.

01:37: Instead, they flow to the appropriate person based on the program or department

01:41: involved, ensuring relevant expertise in the review process.

01:46: Consider this example: a contract for a new leasing agreement submitted for $8,000

01:51: requires a wet signature.

01:54: This triggers a specific workflow to ensure proper authorization and documentation.

02:00: Employee Action Requests, or EARs, follow a defined workflow for approvals related to

02:05: new hires, changes, terminations, and leaves of absence.

02:10: This ensures consistent and compliant handling of employee-related actions.

02:16: For instance, when a manager submits a Change EAR form for an existing employee, the

02:20: request follows a specific approval path to ensure all necessary steps are completed

02:25: and documented.

02:28: The mileage requests approval workflow goes directly to the employee's direct

02:32: supervisor.

02:33: This streamlined process ensures quick and efficient approval for mileage

02:37: reimbursements.

02:40: As an example, when an employee submits a mileage request form, it is routed directly

02:45: to their supervisor for review and approval, simplifying the reimbursement process.
