 Approvers in the Workflow Details

In the Analyst view, earlier there was no option to view the Approver details or Level details where a Change Record is stuck waiting for its approval. To overcome this difficulty, from Tahoe SP3 release onwards, Change Record List page displays Workflow Details of a Change Record where an Analyst can easily identify the Approver or Level details with which a CR is blocked from progressing. This would help an Analyst to fast-track the progress by easily identifying the blockers and addressing the delay effectively. 

This feature will be available only if Workflow Details is configured as a new column under Selected Columns as depicted in the following figure (Change > Change Record List > Filters > Configure Columns > Drag and drop Workflow Details from Available Columns to Selected Columns > Submit). 

Figure: Workflow Details configured under Selected Columns

After the configuration, Workflow Details is displayed as an entry in the tile view or as a new column in the tabular(grid) view on the Change Record List page.

Figure: Change Record List in Tile View

In the Tabular view of Change Record List page, Workflow Details would be added as one new column. 

Figure: Change Record List in Tabular View

Workflow Details column displays the current approver level in which CR is pending as well as the details of the approvers for the corresponding Change Request. By Default, a single approver name will be shown in the grid. If there are multiple approvers, an approver name is displayed in the grid along with + remaining members.

Figure: Change Record List: Workflow Details (Current Level of Approval with one Approver Name)

Case 1: Single/Multiple Approvers

Click the More hyperlink in Workflow Details column to view the details of the approver level and approver(s) in a pop-up. The name of the approval block as it is configured in the workflow, the current level of approval and the name of the approver(s) are displayed in the APPROVER DETAILS pop-up. 

Figure: APPROVERS DETAILS pop-up (Multiple Approvers)

The approvers who have already approved the change would be displayed in green color, the approvers who have rejected the change would be displayed in red as well as those who are yet to approve are displayed in amber color.

Case 2: Mandatory Approver

 If there is a mandatory approver in any level, the corresponding approver name would be followed by an Asterisk on the APPROVERS DETAILS pop-up page.
