[ale] OS Approval system?

[Matthew Brown]

It's actually a pretty simple setup to do.  I've done it now two or three
times in various ways.  Y advice is that you'r likely be better off writing
it into whatever you already have rrather than adding another new system...
UNLESS you have nothing this would bolt onto very well.

Subject: [ale] OS Approval system?

Guys,

We need a document approval system in place here at my company.  There's so
much paper that flows around the office to get signatures that we could
eliminate if we had a system in place that would allow people to sign off in
a designated order.

What I envision is this:

You login, create a request (purchasing, whatever), which can either contain
the content of the request or simply include an attached document, and then
you choose those people in your organization that have to approve it and a
set order.

Then, say I've selected three people to be approvers.  I save the request,
and the system emails person #1.  They login, view the request, and approve
it.  Then, an email is sent automatically to person #2, notifying them that
a request is waiting in their queue.  And so on, and so forth.

I'm neck deep in implementing Issue Tracker (www.issue-tracker.com) as our
incident management system already, and am considering adding this
functionality to it.  However, if other "wheels" exist out there, I'd like
to give them a go first before I reinvent.

Anyone know of anything like this out there?

Thanks for the help, as always!

John
