Approving Doclets and Supplemental Doclets

This topic applies to doclets and Word- or PowerPoint-based supplemental doclets.

As approver, if you are satisfied that the doclet or supplemental doclet is correct, you approve it to complete it. If multiple approvals are required, you, as approver, submit the doclet or supplemental doclet for further approvals. After approval, authors can no longer check out the doclet or supplemental doclet, although they can still download and inspect it.

  To approve a doclet or supplemental doclet:

  1. If not already open, in the Smart View Panel, navigate to the doclet or supplemental doclet and double-click it to open it.

    Note:

    A green arrow, Green arrow symbol on doclet, signifies doclets that require your attention as approver.

  2. In the Performance Reporting ribbon, click Approve.

    In the Smart View Panel, the approved doclet or supplemental doclet appears in the doclet responsibilities list with a green check mark:

    If a doclet or supplemental doclet requires multiple levels of approval, the approved artifact appears in the doclet responsibilities list with the rubber stamp icon:

    When a doclet or supplemental doclet is approved by all approvers, its status is updated to Approved in the Oracle Enterprise Performance Reporting Cloud Service web interface, and the green check mark is displayed with the doclet in Smart View.
