Reviewer's comment required

Purpose

Specifies whether a user who reviews a change form is required to provide a comment for specific responses.

Description

True: The authorized reviewer for a department must provide a reason for the response.

Data type

True/false

Recommended or default value

Reviewer's comment required on

• Approve: False
• Disapprove: True
• Hold: True

Details

Approvals are the expected response and typically don't require any additional comment. The decision to disapprove or hold is an unexpected response and the reviewer should provide a reason, unless the change originator and reviewers will always be quite familiar with the issues involved in the decision.

Regardless of how the system rule is marked, a comment can always be added at the reviewer's option.
