WHAT IS AN APPROVAL GROUP? (1 OF 2)


The Change Manager works with the Change Supervisor to identify Approvers for a given Change, and organizes them into Dynamic Approval Groups during the Change Planning phase An Approval Group is:
of people that approves or rejects a Normal Change Usually made up of representatives from all areas within HP, and Can include representatives from the business and third parties, such as suppliers
A group

The Change Manager can add an unlimited number of Dynamic Approval Groups to the record When a Change Record enters the phase in which the approval is required, each member of the Approval Group receives a notification
9 HP Restricted | August 2010

WHAT IS AN APPROVAL GROUP? (2 OF 2)


Although multiple people make up an Approval Group and receive an approval notification, only one member of the Approval Group approves or denies the Change Record on behalf of the entire group Approvals are completed in a specified order:

An Approver can make an approval only when all approvals in the previous sequence are completed

IMPORTANT: The Approve and Deny buttons do not appear on the Approval screen when the Change has been approved or denied and its status is no longer Pending.
