Document review APIs

Companies that own or link to Agile Process Teams use these APIs to add, evaluate, share, and close reviews of general documents that might need review and approval (e.g. audit reports, compliance reports, certificates). Partners must be a member of the Owner company's network to collaborate with the Owner on a document review.

Document reviews can be in one of three base workflow states:

  • To Do – The document review is new and has not been assigned. Can be transitioned to In Review or Closed.
  • In Review – The submitted document is ready for evaluation by assigned users. This state can be manually applied. It is automatically applied when the document review is assigned and when a closed review is reopened. Can be transitioned to Closed.
  • Closed – The document review is complete. This state is applied when the resolution is submitted. Can be transitioned back to In Review.

Add Document Review

Owners and Partners use this API to add a new general document review request on the Owner company's network. The request includes the uploaded general document as well as any initial comments or additional attachments. The response returns a generated identifier for the new document review.

New document reviews are assigned the ToDo base state by default.

Edit Document Review

Owners and Partners use this API to do the following:

  • Modify an existing document review with new, updated, or corrected information and documentation (e.g. adding an assigned user, fixing a typo).
  • Update the workflow state (e.g. manually transitioning the base state from ToDo to InReview to indicate that the document review has started).
Use the shared comment APIs to add, edit, or delete comments and file attachments. These APIs are shared across all document review process types.

Close Document Review

Owners and Partners use this API to close an existing document review. A closing statement and resolution type must be provided.

The closed review transitions from its current state (either To Do or In Review) to a Closed state. Closed reviews can be edited or reopened by users with the requisite permissions.

Reopen Document Review

Owners and Partners with the Reopen Incident permission use this API to reopen a closed document review (the base state updates from Closed to In Review).

The response returns the identifier for the reopened review with all information intact. Reopened document reviews can only be returned to the In Review state. They cannot be transitioned to To Do.
