Approvers can Approve or Reject a Change Order.
You must be a routing participant with Approver permissions. Only a Change Administrator can modify how a change order is approved.
Note: The Approver role only allows you to approve a change order. You must explicitly be given the reviewer role if you need to add or reply to comments.
An Approver should only proceed to approve or reject a change order when the change order is in the Ready For Final Review state. This status is reported if all of the items or files on the Change Order are in either an In Review or Released Lifecycle State.
Approve
- Right-click the change order in the main pane, and select Respond > Approve.
- In the Add comments dialog box, select the Comment tab and edit the description and comments in the text boxes, if appropriate.
- Select the Email tab and edit the email notification, if appropriate.
- Click OK to approve the change order.
Note: When the change order is initially created, the Routing can optionally specify approval must be unanimous by all approvers, when more than one approver has been added to the routing. In such cases, when all the approver participants have approved the change order, the change order status changes from Approval to Approved.
The status changes from Review to Approved when: - You are the only approver on the routing.
- You are the first of more than one approver on the routing to approve the change order and unanimous approval was not specified.
- You are the last of more than one approver on the routing to approve the change order and unanimous approval was specified.
Reject
- Right-click the change order in the main pane, and select Respond > Reject.
- In the Add comments dialog box, select the Comment tab and edit the description and comments in the text boxes if appropriate.
- Select the Email tab and edit the email notification, if appropriate.
- Click OK to reject the change order.
The change order status changes from Review to Rejected.
