Verify

A verification in a workflow is a task performed by a person who is double-checking earlier work, to catch possible mistakes or variances with policy before the work becomes final.

Verifications are common in financial workflows involving large dollar amounts or sensitive legal commitments. A verification is an independent review by one person of some part of another's work (and of the system's work) before it becomes final.

For example, correspondence verification is a flow that requires a person, other than the person composing an item of outgoing correspondence, to review it and update it — and then record his approval or reject the correspondence. The verifier is by default the manager of the work group of the user, but may be a peer of the original user.

To turn on correspondence verification, select Verify in the After Create field on the Correspondence rule form.

Don't confuse verification, a business responsibility, with validation, application testing that uses PRPC rules to check user inputs and property values.
