How do I approve or reject submitted documents?

Reviewing submitted company and employee documents: open the preview, approve the document or reject it with a reason.

When subcontractors upload documents, those documents do not automatically become part of the construction site’s records. They first appear in the review list Documents pending approval. A document only counts as valid once you have approved it.

Step 1: Open “Documents pending approval”

The list shows every document waiting for your review – including the document type, the submitting company and the expiration date.

Open Documents pending approval in the left navigation

Step 2: Open the document for review

Open a submitted document from the list

The document details open. The tabs give you access to:

  • Preview – view the uploaded file
  • Information – issue date, expiration date and the submitting company
  • Edit – correct the details of the document

You can also Download or Archive the document.

Step 3: Approve the document

If everything is correct, click Approve document. The document becomes valid and counts towards the access check for that company or person from then on.

The „Approve document“ button

Step 4: Reject the document

If the file is unreadable, expired or simply wrong, click Reject document. The subcontractor is informed about the rejection and can submit a corrected document.

The „Reject document“ button

Tip: When rejecting, state as precisely as possible what is missing or wrong. That saves you from rejecting the same document a second time.

What happens after approval?

The document status of a company or person is shown as a traffic light. It only turns green once every required document has been approved.
