We're looking at using Drupal for an intranet site, however we require a workflow for users submitting forms to their line managers (About 8 different managers in total). The workflow module is only for Drupal 6 and I can't find another module or work out a way to do the workflow.
Basically we'd like the users to be in one of X roles, and the workflow would send the form for approval to the manager of role X who would then approve/deny. This would then notify the original user of the approval/denial and then notify the appropriate group for approvals.
I had a look at using Rules to do the above, but couldn't work it out for different roles/managers/forms.
If someone could help out with some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!!

I'll have a look if it does what we need and report back for anyone else also interested!

The way I use is if an anonymous user on my site wants to submit a business listing they are free to do so at http://windwardguide.com/node/add/business. It goes into a queue for moderators to check the information. Now any registered user can edit the business listings and every time they save a new revision is created and if somebody else still wants to edit it they actually edit the latest revision. Still only the moderators can make the latest or any of the revisions live.

Looks like workbench moderation is not suited to what we're after. We're not after a workflow for publishing nodes per say, rather we'd like the IT team to manage nodes entirely with requests coming in from users wanting to change (Drupal out of the box so far) but then we'd like the following scenario to be possible:
-End user in a role of XXXX (Department) submits a webform or similar request which does not get published for others to see
-An E-mail is then sent to the user with the role XXXX-Manager (Department Manager) who can select a button/checkbox etc. to approve or deny
-If the manager denies the request, the original user is notified.
-If the manager approves the request, the original user is notified and an E-mail is sent to user XYZ advising to proceed with the purchase/sale/aquisition/change etc. All of which is done behind the scenes and is not "published" as content for the world to see, rather it should be more like the results from the Webform module that only certain users can see.
Maestro Module for Drupal 7 Workflows
Would Maestro (http://drupal.org/project/maestro) be more what you are after? Seems to be the Workflow-like module for 7. Though admittedly I am just starting to implement this myself for a site that requires content to be generated by multiple parties and reviewed by multiple other parties before being pushed out to public.
Did you find any answer?
Hi acecombat,
I have the same request as yours. Did you find solution? How did you solve this problem?
I found workflow released 7.x version, hope it helps.
Thanks
I would imagine this could be
I would imagine this could be solved the the 'rules' module.
