Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: How the role delegation works? when RCA Approver and RCA Reviewer both is the same user, but Delegation is for only RCA Approval.

Answer: 

• In the Problem Record status, the RCA Approval comes first and then RCA Review, however if the approver has delegated only one of his rights then the delegated user can do only that task.
• In case the Approver has delegated the Review rights only and approval is still with him, then the actual approver should approve it and when the PR record enters into review phase the delegates user can review it

Question 2: How the role delegation works? when Problem Record is delegated one user for Approval and to another user for Review.

Answer: For example, user A has delegated approval to user B and Review to user C. Now, based on the flow of the problem record, when Problem Record comes for approval, B can see the problem Record and approve it. Now, only the user C can see the Problem Record and Review it.

Question 3: The notification is sent to whom when Problem Record is Referred back by the delegated user?

Answer: 

• When the Problem Record is referred back and resubmitted within the delegation time period then the delegated user can approve the Problem Record. However, if resubmission occurs post the delegation time period then the original approver only can approve it.
• In above scenario, the notification is sent to both the users.
