Help for SFX - Secure File Exchange
If your SFX Administrator configures all items in the repository to require approval, approvers are established at the repository level for all folders and files within the repository. You cannot turn off approval workflow for your items, and you cannot select your own approvers.
If approval is not required at the top repository level, and is not required at the folder level by the folder owner or an administrator, you can require approval of files for which you are the owner. Complete the following steps to require approval on a file.
Navigate to the file for which you wish to require approval.
From the file drop down menu, click Edit Properties. The Edit Properties window displays.
In the Edit Properties window, select the Require Approval check box. The Add Approvers option displays.

If the folder to which a file is uploaded already requires approval workflow, the uploaded file will require approval - it 'inherits' the requirement from the folder. If this is the case, the “Require Approval” check box is grayed out and you cannot change the approval requirement. |
