Abstract: An electronic document system, for example, includes a network portal that connects to end user devices via a network and generates graphical user interfaces on the end user devices. A database server stores data extracted by data capture entities (DCEs) associated with submitted electronic documents and approval routes for each DCE. An approval route includes steps identifying users and approval actions to be performed by the users. An application server determines an approval route from the stored approval routes for each submitted electronic document, and generates notifications for the users on the approval routes to execute the approval actions, and generates a visual representation of the approval routes in status pages via the network portal. Visual representations in the status pages are updated in real-time to indicate status information for the submitted electronic documents as the submitted electronic documents traverse respective approval routes.
