07 / Governance

Operational policies and approvals.

Connect policies, approval requirements and recorded decisions to the work they govern. In the example, job submission triggers a pending request for an authorised decision; it does not show an approval already granted. Access permissions remain separate from that decision.

An active rule matches this job’s value. It requests review; a policy document alone does not enforce this condition.

Illustrative governance workflow · Example data

01

Requirements in context

Evaluate configured approval conditions when a draft job is submitted. Requirements depend on the action and configuration.

02

Visible approvals

See pending requests and the roles assigned to review them. Permission and approval remain separate checks.

03

Reviewable history

Follow recorded evaluation and approval events back to the job. Keep supported decisions available for follow-up.

What happens after review?

In this job workflow, resolving the final required approval can open the job automatically when no approval remains pending or rejected and the lifecycle transition is valid. Production still has its own stage requirements. Not every job requires approval. Assigned organisation roles and action permissions control review access; a position title alone does not grant it. Recorded events contain selected context, not a complete historical policy snapshot.
