16. SUGGESTIONS/DISCUSSION POINTS
Post and unpost options can be made just like new, edit buttons by keeping it separate
from procedures list?
Reject /Hold/Recheck modes needed in approval?
Considering both users and roles in forwarding mechanism is confusing?
Stage and order versus Action Status and Level. Which is better?
Menu naming can be improved since workflow - definition since it is a common term.?
To user Column not needed in mailbox?
