Work with Document Processes

If your CA Clarity PPM administrator has created document-related processes, they are listed on the available processes page. Document processes can be effective when routing a document through an approval process. Processes are effective because a document process can link to any associated project or program. You can send notifications and action items from the document process to the project roles and resources.

Note: See the Administration Guide for more information.

The initiated processes page of document lists the in-progress or completed processes. To view the page, open the Knowledge Store, and from the document Actions menu, click Processes.
