Too much authorisation in a logbook Process

The authorisation process for logbooks has too many stages in it. When an employee creates a logbook, I do not see why a manager has to approve that 'Add' action. Surely they just need to be notified it has happened. Similarly when the logbook has been updated too.

This creates an additional burden on the manager to have to keep authorising the same logbook. Surely the only time a logbook needs to be authorised is at the end before it becomes a permanent record
