Web Filter Override Request Processing and Approval Workflow

📁 Web Filter Override Request — How It's Processed

Part of the EMP-Forms workflow (Laserfiche)

✨ What This Does

When a Webfilter Override Request form is submitted in Laserfiche Forms, this process automatically routes it through a two-step approval (Principal/Associate, then Director) and keeps a record of the outcome. No one needs to start this manually — it runs on its own whenever the form moves forward.

You can submit a request here -> lfweb.conroeisd.net/Forms/OverrideRequest

📋 What the Form Needs Before This Can Run

The request only has what it needs to process once the form includes:

Field

What it's for

Building

Which campus the request is for

Curriculum Department

The requesting department

Employee Email

Who submitted the request

Website to be Allowed

The site being requested

Justification

Reason for the request

Principal / Associate Name

First approver

Director Name

Second approver

⚙️ Step-by-Step: What Happens

  1. Request details are pulled in. The system reads the Building, Department, Employee, Website, and Justification info from the submitted form.

  2. First approval is checked (Principal/Associate).

    • If the Principal/Associate approves the request, it moves on to the Director for a second approval.

    • If the Principal/Associate rejects it (or hasn't responded), the request is marked as not approved, a record is saved, and the process stops here — it does not go on to the Director.

  3. Second approval is checked (Director) — only reached if the Principal/Associate approved.

    • If the Director approves, the request is marked as approved.

    • If the Director rejects it, the request is marked as not approved.

    • Either way, the process continues to the final step below.

  4. The final result is recorded. Once both approval steps have been resolved, the outcome of the request is saved for tracking purposes.

warning What Happens If Something Goes Wrong

If the system is ever unable to save the request record (at the point of an early stop in Step 2, or at the final save in Step 4), it automatically sends an email titled "Employee Records Staging Post Error" to the Conroe ISD system administrators so they can look into it. No action is needed from the person who submitted the request or from either approver.
