In this topic, we'll show you how to setup a custom workflow for the ASI process. By default all companies can send ASIs to all other companies on the project and select different Assignees for each individual ASI. This will be a simple, one step ASI process, where all the assignees will get an option to respond to the ASI. On the other hand you can customize the ASI workflow to suite your project’s needs.

Every company can have its own custom ASI Workflow in a project. So, the ASI Workflow for company A can be different than that of company B. For instance, the workflow for an ASI sent by company B to company C can be different than what it is for the company A sending an ASI to company C. Also, the workflow for an ASI sent by company B to company D can be different than what it is for the company B sending an ASI to company C. The workflows can be easily setup in advance and automated using the Custom Workflows feature. You can also choose which companies can send ASIs to which other companies on the project.

The ASIs will be automatically sent to the next step once they are approved by the reviewers and the assignees will be automatically notified that they need to take action next.

Let select the Approve in Sequence for example and also let’s select the check box located next to the ‘If rejected by any one approver in the process, do not send the ASI forward.
