Creating an Approval Matrix

Reviewing and approving a change request is very sensitive and sometimes need multilevel approval. AMR provides the ability to define your own multi-level approval matrix.

Once an approval matrix has been defined, all newly created CM tickets and all existing pending approval CM tickets follow the approval matrix. Approvers are also notified when a CM ticket is newly created or pending their approval. A CM ticket is approved when all approvers have approved. A CM ticket is rejected when all approvers have decided and any one has rejected the ticket.

Top level approvers, (that is, level 1 approvers) can bypass all others' approval decisions regardless of whether others approve or reject the CM ticket.
