Submission deadlines for Reports in eScribe can be handled in various ways  by navigating  to Documents > Document Settings > Approval Settings.

Once a submission deadline has passed (Late Items), there are 3 options:

Option Expected Behavior
Late Items Allow  This option allows the report writers to submit the report without receiving any notification that the item is late and it does not pass through a separate workflow.
Do Not Allow This option informs the user that the meeting submission deadline has passed and they must change the meeting date.
Require Exception Approval

Forces the user to run a “Late Exception Workflow” in order to approve the document for late submission (a workflow that interjects in the regular workflow to get “exception approval”, after which the regular workflow resumes).

 

Once a workflow has started, and the deadline has passed (Mid Workflow Late Items), there are 3 options:

  1. Ignore the deadline, allow the workflow to continue.
  2. Cancel the workflow, informing the report author and sponsor(s).
  3. Inform the Meeting Type Administrator that a Mid-Workflow must be started.

Note: Submission deadlines are calculated and assigned based on the meeting type and specific meeting site configurations.
