Manager acknowledgements and review evidence
Business and above
Review evidence answers the inspector's question "who checked this, and when?". It comes in three layers — two on Business and above, one on Site Control.
Site-file acknowledgements (Business and above)
Site files marked Requires acknowledgement before work starts carry a Request acknowledgements button — drawing revisions and procedures get a recorded trail of who confirmed reading them, with Pending, Acknowledged, Rejected and Superseded states.
Business review history (Business and above)
On any generated document, the Business review history panel is your internal record — Set as in review, Record reviewed, Record approved, Record changes needed, Record superseded. No emails, no external workflow: just the evidence that reviews happened.
Manager acknowledgements on generated documents (Site Control)
Open the document and click Request all managers.
Owners/admins, delegated site access managers and contractor managers each get an assignment against the current version.
Watch the status pills: Pending, Acknowledged, Rejected, Superseded.
Each row records when it was requested, when they responded, and any response note. Assignees respond right on the document page.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from worker sign-off?
Worker sign-off is the crew attesting they've read and signed a document. Manager acknowledgements are the management layer — the people running the job confirming the current version before work starts. Both are version-aware.
What do I get on Business vs Site Control?
Business includes read acknowledgements on site files ("Requires acknowledgement before work starts") and the internal Business review history on documents. Requesting manager acknowledgements against a generated document version is Site Control.
What happens to acknowledgements when I regenerate the document?
They're marked Superseded — the record of who confirmed the old version stays, and you can request acknowledgements again for the new one.
Does the Business review history send emails?
No — it's an internal evidence log. The buttons record review states (in review, reviewed, approved, changes needed, superseded) against the document without triggering any external workflow.
