Administrative Workflows

Effective versions of controlled documents will often require a minor housekeeping change afterapproval. These changes should not impact the effectiveness of the document. An example of this type of change would be the correction of a minor typo. It would be inconvenient to use the full versioning workflow in correcting such a trivial error and so we have introduced the Administrative Workflow.

For a more detailed discussion of workflow creation, please see the related area of the User Guide.However, it is our recommendation that users should, where possible, reach out to the Trial Interactive Service Desk whenever assistance is needed in workflow creation or maintenance.

The key difference between an Administrative Workflow and a standard Approval Workflow isthat the Administrative workflow will appear as a minor version change but the Effective date and Periodic Review timeframe will remain unchanged from the current effective version
