Approvals tab

The Approvals tab provides detailed information for pending or already executed approvals.

The following table describes the individual fields of the tab.

Process

All Changes in a repository usually run through one and the same process instance.

For some customers, however, different processes are interlinked. This applies, for example, to customers with a comprehensive template development process that then branches into country-specific delivery processes, for example.

State

Status of the Change in the process

Approval status

The Approval Status table displays the details for the currently open approval process. If no approval is defined in the process in the current status, an empty table is displayed.

The  column "State" uses an icon to indicate whether the corresponding approval has already been granted (green square), is still open (yellow triangle), or an error situation has been detected (red lightning). The "Type" column provides information as to whether the current approval is a multi-level approval in which all change request partners of a certain or several partner roles must approve. If a person is displayed as a symbol, this is a single-level approval and two persons are a multi-level approval. The group of persons who can issue an approval is displayed in the "Approval object" column. Valid objects are individual users, user groups, or SAP authorizations. If an approval has been granted, the name of the approver is displayed in the "Approved by" column.

The "Information" column provides the following context-dependent information:

  • Pending approval: List of all Conigma users who are authorized to carry out the authorization

  • Granted approval: Date and time when the approval was granted 

  • Errorneous approval: Message indicating which error situation was determined

The "Display approvals for current object status only" option hides permissions granted in previous states. If the option is unchecked, all approvals, including those from previous object states, are displayed.
