Parallel Workflows

What is a Parallel Workflow?

Parallel Workflows are set up by Administrators.  Click here.

A parallel workflow allows you to conduct a document review where 2 or more reviews can happen in parallel to each other. Each of these reviews are independent of each other.

Parallel Workflow in Use

When you are a reviewer of a parallel workflow, the workflow screen will show all reviewers. 

The parallel steps are shown as below with the step you are a part of shown as Active.

If you have the rights to see what other reviewers are doing in a parallel step you can click on the reviewers name to see the results.

Delegating a Parallel Workflow Step

To delegate documents that are in a parallel workflow:

  1. Click on Review Tools and select Delegate.

  1. Choose which Step you want to delegate to another user and click Done.

Parallel Step Restriction:

  • Delegation to a user within the same parallel step is not allowed to prevent conflicts.

Workflow Admins can delegate documents on behalf of users on a parallel workflow. Simply open the workflow, select the step and then who you want to delegate to.

Skip Parallel Step for One User

You must be a Workflow Administrator in order to skip a step.

As a reviewer, you can skip a step in parallel workflow.

When skipping a parallel step in a workflow, RIB CX allows you to skip the step for just one user within that parallel step.

  • Allows individual user steps to be skipped without affecting other reviewers.

  • Users must still provide a reason before skipping that step.

 To Skip workflow step:

  1. Go to the WTX.

  2. Click Review Documents.

  3. Click Review Tools.

  4. Select Skip Step.

  5. Pick a verdict.

  6. Type in a reason for skipping the step.

When you skip a step a summary of the review will be sent. 

When a Workflow is Completed

When the workflow has been completed the summary page will list the verdicts/comments/markup information from the parallel steps as shown below.
