# Workflow

The Sovelia Template has two preset methods to manage the engineering workflow. The workflow can be ***item driven*** or managed using the ***Engineering change order (ECO)***. This can be setup in the administration. The item review process is not part of the ECO process and is always item driven.

The ECO workflow is controlled by fields on the ECO. Email notifications are sent when the item is promoted and lists are available on the ***Ecos*** dashboard for users to manage their tasks.

The ***ECO assigned to*** field defines who is responsible for the design work.

A graph shows ECOs assigned to you. The chart shows ECOs at state ***Assigned*** and also the ones you have ***Completed***, but have not been ***Approved*** yet. The ECOs can be accessed by clicking the graph.

The ***ECO approver*** field defines who is responsible for approving the change.

The ***ECO releaser*** field defines who is responsible for the release of the change.

The ***ECO release notification*** can be used to trigger emails to user groups to notify them of the change. (This part of the process is often enhanced by configuring an ***Implementation*** sub process.)
