Approving Doclets on the Web

As a doclet approver, you review, edit, and approve doclets after the doclet author submits them. You have access to the same functionality as the doclet author, including:

You can approve regular doclets on the web by downloading them and opening them in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, or you can access them directly in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint through Oracle Smart View for Office. This topic provides procedures for approving doclets on the web. To approve doclets in Smart View, see Authoring Doclets in Smart View and Approving Doclets in Smart View.

Approving Doclets

When you are notified that a doclet is ready for review, you review it and make changes as necessary. When you have completed your review, you approve the doclet. After you have approved a doclet, you can’t check it out, but you can download and inspect it.

To approve a doclet on the web:

  1. Click Doclet actions next to the doclet name.

  2. Select Act on Content.

  3. Select Approve.

When a doclet is approved, the following updates occur in the report center:

  • The status of the doclet is changed to Approved.

  • If additional approval is required, the doclet responsibility field is updated with the next approver.

  • If no additional approval is required, the doclet responsibility is cleared.

  • Your author phase status is updated to a new completion percentage.

Rejecting a Doclet

If a doclet is not ready for approval, you can either edit the doclet yourself (check out the doclet, modify it, and check in the corrected doclet), or you can reject the doclet to send it back to the author to edit.

To reject a doclet:

  1. Click Doclet actions next to the doclet name.

  2. Select Act on Content.

  3. Select Approve.

When a doclet is rejected, the status of the doclet is updated to Rejected, and the responsibility reverts to the doclet author. The author can update the doclet content and submit it for approval again.

Note:

If a Doclet is rejected by an approver, the notification will be sent to all approvers within the approval path.

Even if there are multiple approver levels, everyone will get an email notification.
