The Distribution Lists tab is used to manage project workflow notifications and approvals. Using this functionality, the resources who would receive the project workflow notifications through email are established. These resources may be designated as budget and/or project change approvers as well. Workflow users may be internal to the organization, or external (not an EcoSys user). External resources may receive workflow notifications but must not be designated as approvers. Approvers must first be setup by a system administrator within EcoSys as an EcoSys User in the Users and Security screen (Admin > Users and Security) and also, they must be setup as an EcoSys workflow resource is setup in Maintain Resources screen (Enterprise Data > Maintain Resources).

The Approver field is used to designate if the person is to act as a level 1, level 2, or level 3 approver. Users so designated have both approval and rejection authority. Distribution List defines the associated workflow. If left blank, then you will simply receive emails regarding the specific workflow. The available Distribution Lists are listed below:

  • Budget Workflow - All budget events.

  • Change Workflow - All change events except forecast variance change submission, approvals, and rejections.

  • Forecast Variance Workflow - Forecast variance change submission, approvals, and rejections.

  • All Workflows - All budget, change, and forecast variance events.

Approvers must be completely established before a budget or a change is submitted for approval. If modifications to the budget or change approvers are identified after a budget or change has been submitted for approval, the budget or change must be rejected. Then alterations should be made in the Distribution Lists tab, and the budget or change must be resubmitted for approval.
