Validating a Technology
A validation workflow can be started:
• automatically
• on request from the Portfolio Manager
At technology creation
At creation of a technology, a task is automatically assigned to the Technology Manager, who must validate or refuse the technology. The task appears in his/her desktop, in which are displayed the objects for which he/she is responsible.
To validate a Technology:
1. Click the navigation menu then List of tasks.
2. Under To-Do List, select Technologies to Validate.
The list of technologies to be validated appears in the edit area.
3. Click the icon of the technology to be validated and select Validation > Accepted.
The Recommended command also validates the technology, but in a more pronounced way, since it specifies that it is an expectation.
The Enterprise Standard attribute is modified depending on the workflow. This attribute can take values:
• Recommended
• Accepted
• Prohibited
• Unknown
If a technology belongs to a "prohibited" or "unknown"supplier, it automatically takes the same value.
on demand
The Portfolio Manager can subsequently request a new validation of the technology.
He/she can also request financial validation from the Financial Controller responsible for this technology.
