Question

User-1611372153 posted

Hi, Required an expert opinion. I have an existing MVC web application project build on VS2017 & SQL 2017. What is the easiest method to build multi level approval process. My scenario is as follows, logged in users will be submitting some details of a product ( name, model, country of origin etc) with it's photos through the View Page. The Manager will be reviewing the submitted data and will input his comments and will approve or reject. Once Manager Approved the GM will review the same info and will approving or rejecting with his comments. The notifications on the changes has to be pushed to the users as well.

its depends on the review and approval detail. but basically add review and approval columns at the data level. the use roles/claims for the approval process actions. 

next will depend on the complexity of approval chain (who is a manger of who). can manger have approval anyone, or just their reports?

Hi Roopesh1986,

According to your description, it is an existing MVC application with database, to add approval process functionality, you may need to modify/add new tables to store data bout approval requests and process details, and as bruce mentioned, you may need to maintain approval request-Manager-GM to control approval chain.

For functionality of sending/pushing notifications to the users, you can achieve it by sending email or using [SignalR](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/signalr/overview/getting-started/tutorial-getting-started-with-signalr-and-mvc) in your web application.

Note: please backup your database and web application first before you do modifications or updates on it.
