hi all,

I have a multi level workflow like Ann approves the request then it gets pushed to Ben who then approves the request and it ends here.

Now i would like to define the restriction such that If and only if Ann approves the document then only can Ben approve it.

1. I would like to see the possibilities of doing such kind of multiple workflow restrictions
   
2. can we have permissions written on various versions on the document i.e in my case if some one reviews the document and checks it back with some ppties values i would like to do a comparison b/w the old and new value before i allow him to check in.
3. what are the kinds of restriction that we can define for a workflow? any docs/links which can help
4. Is it possible to do something like this? or this doesn't even make sense from a workflow perspective if so why?
   

thanks
bekz

Hello,

For your first requirement of relaying approval, you can do it by creating 2 approval status columns, one for Ann and the other for Ben. Then in the second workflow which should be created in sharepoint designer, set it to be triggered when item updated, the conditions should be approval status (for Ann) equals Approved and modified by equals Ann.

For your second requirement of operate workflow on different versions of document, I don’t think it is possible through out-of-the-box ways. You’d better copy the old versions as the other documents to let it work.
