Pending Approvals tab |
A tab on the Home page in which you view, approve, or reject deployment requests that are waiting your approval, and review approval records. |
Study validation |
The process of checking the status of a study to indicate if the study is ready for deployment. The study validation process determines whether all essential components exist and are consistent. |
Target application |
The application (for example, the InForm application) on which a completed deployment package runs. |
