When a review is complete, Ziflow calculates a decision using the reviewers' submitted decisions.
The decision calculation logic depends on your Final Status Calculation setting. This setting allows a proof creator to decide which decisions are taken into account. For more information, see Final status calculation. If you update this setting during the review process, the decision calculation logic will change.
To view the decision, open the Proof details pages and select the Activity tab.
How Ziflow calculates a decision
Once all decision makers have submitted their decisions, Ziflow calculates the decisions made within the same stage. The final status is calculated based on the following rules:
| Reviewer decisions | Stage decision |
| At least one decision was set to Changes required | Changes required |
| At least one decision was set to Approved with changes and nobody in the stage selected Changes required | Approved with changes |
| At least one decision is Approved and nobody in the stage selected Changes required or Approved with changes | Approved |
| All decisions are set to Not relevant | Not relevant |
If the proof has not been locked, a reviewer can change a decision after the final decision has been made.
- If a reviewer changes a decision while the proof is unlocked, the review stage and final decision are recalculated.
- If a reviewer revokes the decision, the review stage status and proof status will change to In progress until the reviewer submits a new decision.
Important
Ziflow's standard decision options (Changes required, Approved with changes, Approved, Not relevant) are mapped to fixed system logic that determines how proof statuses and final decisions are calculated (shown in the table above).
If your Administrator changes the displayed decision labels, the change is only cosmetic. Ziflow continues to interpret and apply calculation decisions based on the original standard decision options.
For information on decision settings, see Manage decision settings.
Proof status calculation with no decision makers
The status calculation on a stage without any decision makers is ignored, and the stage status will show as Completed once the reviewers click the Review complete button.
Stage lock is dependent on a stage setting shown below:
