Document Change Control
Simplify your document change control process without compromising on any aspect of change control. You can build simple change control form with single or multiple documents and HTML table or create complex multi-table HTML forms. To implement change control module, first make sure to upload your change control related documents to the system. While you upload and create the documents, you can define how will you create the HTML form by using "Document Data Entry" option. You can use either Document or Data or Both as an option. We suggest to select "Both" as a standard option. After creating and adding a document. Proceed to create the HTML form.
Available Change Control Form
Since you have selected "Both" as an option, you can use your Change Control Document as a Template which users can fill-in from within the browser by opening the document while adding the CR. ONLYOFFICE Document Editors can open Word/ Pdf/ Spreedsheets from within the browser window. We will make use of this feature while building our HTML form.
While certain information can be filled directly into the Document, other information like Origin of request, request number, document to be changed, request status (Open/ Accepted/ Rejected etc) etc can be added to the HTML form. If the CR is related to a document, you can also add Document Status field (Issues/ Published/ Under Revision etc) to your form, which will directly control the original document status from the new CR form. Save the form and your Change Request functionality is ready.
Note:
When you create a new Change Request related to a document, system will load a copy of the original document in editable form when you select that document from the drop-down. System will not write back any changes to any original document at this stage. You can make the required changes into the document loaded. Mark the newly created CR as "Open" (and Document as "Under revision" if you want to lock the document).
Change Control Approval Process
FlinkISO Document Management has in-built Approval Process where you can send a record to single or multiple users for their approval or comments. You can use this feature to share your newly created Change Request record. Share the newly created CR record with your team-members, department HoDs or other stakeholders for their feedback/ comments/ approvals by using Approval Process available. Each user who is involved (selected via approval process) will receive a notification on his/ her dashboard. Use can then navigate to the CR record and view all the details. User can perform following operation:
- View/ Edit both Change Request Document and Document To Be Changed
- If multiple users are logged in are if they open a same record, users can edit these documents in collaboration
- Users can also use live Chat while they collaborate
- Users can upload their signatures (image) to these documents
- Send their comments, approval, rejection via Approval Panel
Once the entire process is complete, and if change is approved, mark the request status as "Approved" and document status as "Update Document", and save the form. In case of rejected, keep the document status as it is and close the CR by selecting Close as a status.
In case "Update Document" is checked, system will then prompt the user to update the current document which newly changed document from the CR section.
After Change Request is approved
When the change request is approved, user must change the CR's current status as Approved and "Document Status" as Update Document.. After this, user must goto the document and click "view" or "edit". It will open a final document archival and replacement step. This section will display botn Origianl Copy and Revised Copy of the document. Click "Update Document" button at the end. System will automatically update the Revision Number on submit and Archive the previous document, which can be accessed in future as read-only. New document will be available for users to view/ download etc.
In case of more complex implementation, you can use combination of Parent/ child document, parent table and linked tables etc. For example. Change Request Process can have single parent document (CR Originator) and multiple child documents like (Documents to be changed, Checklists etc). With this complex approach, you can control multiple documents and tables related to single CR. You can always contact us if you need to build such forms and we will assist you on how to.

Note:
When you create the HTML form for the first time, after saving the form, make sure to select a default field, also make sure the verify each field, verify that each drop-downs is correctly linked with your existing tables and then save the form. After this, goto any of the document and click Change Request tab. System will ask you to select the Change Request table. Select the newly created table from the drop-down, select which fields you would like to display on the Change Request tab and click save. This will link your Change Request table with QC Documents.
