What is two-step verification?

Overview & background

Fieldwire has a two-step verification process. In order for tasks to be closed out, they are marked as "Completed" and then subsequently "Verified".

Who can perform two-step verification

All permission levels (Followers, Members and Admins) can mark a task as complete. However only Project Admins can verify or delete tasks. This ensures that every task is managed efficiently and accurately and that no task goes unseen.

Custom Task Statuses and Two-Step Verification

Note: Custom Task Statuses are available to projects covered under the ‘Pro’ and ‘Business’ subscription.

Project admins can adjust the permission set and ‘type’ of statuses. This means each task status can be associated with a project permission set (Admins Only, Admins & Members, and All users). Given that custom task statuses will always follow an open, to tracked, to verified workflow, project Admins can determine which permission sets have the option to move the task into the 'Tracked' or 'Verified' Status. Read more about custom task statuses in this article: Custom Task Statuses.

A Two-step verification workflow can be created by leveraging the ‘Permissions’ associated with each status. This example workflow tracks work from pre-punch to final approval by the GC:  

The two step-verification occurs between the ‘Approved by Sub’ to the ‘Approved by GC’ status:

• The ‘Approved by Sub’ Status is available for ‘All users’. I have subs on site who are both followers and members, so I’d like them to be able to move the task into this status when their work is complete.
• The ‘Approved by GC’ status is only available to ‘Admins’ because my Super is one of the few Admins onsite and will be the one to verify the work that was completed by the sub.
