The Unassigned status is now called New. This is accompanied by the separation of the workflow status and the assignment status.

From now on, newly uploaded documents will have the New status. When you assign a Reviewer, they automatically move to the Under Review status.

However, you can now change files to Unassigned when they are Under Review or Under Approval. That does not affect the document's status (i. e., the file will not change back to New as was the case in the past). The question mark in the Assigned to column shows that no Reviewer/Approver is assigned.

The first column of the document list now includes the following metadata:

In addition to the familiar List view, a second view is now available for dossiers: the Workflow view.

In the Workflow view, documents are organized in columns according to their status (New, Under Review, Under Approval and Approved). You can change the status of a document by dragging and dropping it into the column with the respective status.

The system remembers the last selected view.
