Read Complete Release Notes

Feature released in SummitAI Service Management (Denali SP3, Change Management)

What's New?

While creating the workflow, the Administrators can configure whether the mandatory fields on the Change Request (CR) need to be filled by the Approvers configured in the workflow or not. Based on this configuration, an e-mail notification with or without approval functionality is triggered to the Approvers.

To achieve this, on the PROPERTIES pop-up, a new field, Are Mandatory Fields Required To Be Filled by Approver? is added (Refer Figure 2).

  • If Are Mandatory Fields Required To Be Filled by Approveris selected as Yes, then the Approver can not approve the CR through e-mail approval. In this case, the Approver has to log in to the application and fill the mandatory fields to approve a CR. An e-mail notification will be triggered to the Approver as shown in the following figure.

     See Screenshot

  • If Are Mandatory Fields Required To Be Filled by Approver? is selected as No, then the Approver can approve the CR via e-mail approval. In this case, the below e-mail notification will be triggered to the Approver .

     See Screenshot

Business Benefits

  • This new enhancement helps to maintain the consistency of the approval functionality via email with that of the approval via application.
