Workflow

Most Outlines will pass through five (5) main statuses.

A cloned Outline is exempt from QA if it has been cloned from a QA approved Outline of the same subject code and session; and has not been edited since it was cloned. The SOT will determine whether this criteria has been met once the Author clicks ‘Submit for QA’.

An Outline may be sent back from QA for revision one or multiple times.

An Outline can be published by the Author if the QAO pre-approves revisions.

QA approved Outlines may need to be updated prior to initial publication to students. Authors can set a publication date to delay publication of Version 1 until the Interact2 subject site opens to students. While an Outline remains in ‘Awaiting Publication’ status, edits can be made to Version 1 using the Update workflow. Unless updates are exempt from QA, the Outline will be returned to QA Officers for their further QA. The QAO’s email notification will include a list of sections that were updated so that QA can be targeted.

Variations may be exempt from QA if only certain sections are edited. The Author can submit the Outline for re-publication.
