# Request Validation Workflow Form with WordPress

 * Hello,
 * I want to set up a request validation workflow (form).
    Imagine filling out an
   online form and clicking the “submit” button at the end. The form will go to 
   your boss who will have to validate or reject it. If it validates, your request
   will continue with the big boss who will in turn also have to validate or reject
   it. At the end you are notified of the status of your request. Does WordPress
   allow me to build such an application? If so, which plugins do I need?

 * With the right coding, WP allows you to build nearly any site you can imagine
   🙂 The key to your scheme is only allowing the right user to do each validation
   step. By default, if a contributor submits a post, an editor or admin must be
   the one to publish or approve it. But there are no more levels provided.
 * You can manage who can do what with roles and capabilities, but the default roles
   are somewhat limited. You may want a roles and capabilities plugin to help manage
   roles in more detail.
 * You can manage approvals through custom fields. Use a plugin like Advanced Custom
   Fields which allows you to manage which fields are visible by role. You may need
   a bit of custom coding to manage what happens when form submittals are finally
   approved, such as only listing form data which has all the necessary approvals,
   or list only those which only need big boss approval, etc. Maybe some sort of
   advanced search plugin can manage this.

 * Hi [@leunamme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leunamme/),
 * Did you look at Oasis Workflow plugin? – [https://wordpress.org/plugins/oasis-workflow/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/oasis-workflow/)
 * The plugin allows you to create custom editorial/review workflows within wordpress.
 * As of now, Oasis Workflow works with Posts, Pages and any custom post type.
 * So, here’s what you can do..
    The form that is submitted from the front end can
   be a custom post type. Using Oasis Workflow, you can submit this to a review 
   workflow(with the Pro version you can use Auto Submit, which will automatically
   submit the post to a workflow).
 * Once the review is complete, the post/page can be published.
 * See if the plugin works for your needs.
