Publishing a Policy using the Approval Workflow

A policy administrator can publish a new policy.  You will need access to the Management Console and the Policy Management. 

A policy can be published once all Policy Approvers have approved the policy and the workflow status has changed to Ready for Release.

Select Search, using the various filters you to help refine your search parameters by changing the Workflow status to Ready for Release . Remember to change the Policy Status to either:

Live - for any policies that are currently available to users and a new version is going through the approval process

In Development - for any new policies that are going through the approval process 

Once you select the relevant policy, under the Document tab you will be able to view the total comments made and how many have been resolved (not all comments need to be marked resolved to publish the policy) and the approval status for each approver which should be marked as Approved.

Select Publish

You will now have the options to, update the Version number and Release notes

By selecting the Category, Sub-category, Policy set and position - this will be the area of the portal your users will be access your policy.

You can then select the appropriate Audience group who need to have access to the policy.

Then select Publish
