Approving Change Request

Approving a change request allows you to:

• Review the change request to gain an understanding of the proposed changes and their impacts
• Indicate what changes are necessary, if any, for the change request to be approved
• Indicate support for proceeding with the proposed change

To approve a change request:

1. Click the change request link from your task list to open the record or use the hyperlink in the email notification sent when the action was assigned to you.
2. Review the details of the MOC by going through all relevant tabs and review any attachments, if needed. You can make changes if required.
   
   
3. If you approve the change request, click the Approve button. If, as a designer, you approve the intent of the change with a minor change to the details, select Approve with Change from the menu and enter a comment; the comment will be posted to the audit trail and emailed to all subsequent approvers. If the change requires revision, select Revision Needed from the menu and enter a comment; the comment will be posted to the audit trail and emailed to the person responsible for concept revision. All designers and approvers who previously approved will be asked to approve again after the revision.
   
   

Now that you’ve approved or provided feedback, your job is done! Depending on the decisions made by the other approvers, you may see the change request again, or it may be on its way to being implemented; you can track progress in the Monitor menu.
