Approve or Reject a Requirements Specification

After you submit a requirements specification to reviewers, each one sees a new task in their Worklist displayed in the Overview pane of the Concepts page. You can see who has already approved or rejected, and other information.

Click the task link to open the task which displays the details and history of the requirement approval. The workflow for requirements specifications is simple and can't be modified. For instance, you can't add or remove statuses from the approval workflow.

A notification is also sent to you (the user) and includes a URL link of the object. The link takes you to the page where you can look through the content of the object before deciding to approve or reject the object sent for approval.

Each reviewer clicks the Approve or Reject button. If the requirements specification is rejected by a reviewer, its Status reverts to Draft, which permits further modifications. The project manager can modify the requirements specification and resubmit it to the reviewers.

When all reviewers have approved the requirements specification, its Status changes to Approved. When this occurs, no further modifications of the requirements specification are possible.
