Collaboration and Approvals

Collaboration and Approvals provides the configurable user interface and schema for all the apps, creating a framework or foundation for those apps. It allows internal and external (such as suppliers) users to collaborate while maintaining access controls to content.Collaboration and Approvals supports all 3DEXPERIENCE platform apps.

An app can use common components to implement a feature or it can use its own programs. Most components are configurable so each app can tailor it as needed. For example, the check in pages can be configured to show specific fields and attributes. If an app has requirements that are not included in the common component, it uses its own programs.

Administrators are typically responsible for installing, upgrading, and supporting the app, as well as configuring properties and other settings in response to user and business requirements. This guide includes topics and tasks intended for administrators.

Administrators can use these resources for additional assistance available in the SUPPORT menu at http://www.3ds.com/support/documentation:

• The Program Directory is a website that organizes all the release information for all Dassault Systemes apps for a given release. It contains information about prerequisites, installation, licensing, product enhancements, general issues, open issues, user assistance addenda, and closed issues.
• The Knowledge Base provides question-and-answer articles for a wide range of content. You can search the Knowledge Base for issues relevant to your app.
