Using Requests For Change
Change requests allow users to request a modification on one or more repository objects.
Depending on workflow configuration, users receive an e-mail or a notification to inform them of the request for change.
Request For Change Workflow
In this workflow, a requester makes a new request for change. The request then passes to status Submitted Request.
An administrator of requests for change analyzes the request. He/she can:
• accept the request for change, or
• reject the request for change, or
• request investigation from a modeler.
In this last case, the request for change passes to status Request Under Evaluation. Following evaluation, the modeler submits the outcome to the request for change administrator (the request returns to Submitted Request status).
When the request has been accepted, the requests for change administrator can decide to complete or abort it. The request for change then passes to final status Completed Request or Aborted Request.
You can customize behavior of requests for change. To do this, seek assistance of a
MEGA product engineer if necessary.
