On behalf of your department, you review the routed change form to ensure that the change:
Based on your assessment, you decide whether to approve, disapprove, or hold the change for further information.
Select the change form's Approve tab.
Unlock the change form. Your name appears in the combobox, and the reviewer data fields are enabled.
Your name will not appear unless you're an authorized reviewer for the selected department.
Indicate your assessment of the change by selecting the appropriate Response: Approve, Disapprove, or other valid selection.
Enter any comments. For responses other than approval, you should supply a comment; if you require clarification, be sure to fully describe the information you need to make an informed decision.
Lock the form to save your response and comments. You'll be prompted to enter your password. When you've finished, your response is recorded and the change form is forwarded according to the specified workflow.
If you approve the change form, it is forwarded to the next reviewer listed, or the change form will be accepted or released (depending on how your administrator has defined the process).
If you disapprove the change form, it skips any remaining reviewers and, depending on the workflow design, is immediately forwarded to one of several possible phases: stopped, canceled, rejected, or returned to the analyst as submitted.
If you put the change form on hold while awaiting clarification, your comments are forwarded to the change originator, analyst or other interested persons. When you get the information you need, you can return to this change and provide another response.
