Validating a Technology
Directly on a technology
To validate a technology:
1. Click the Technologies navigation menu.
2. Display the Technologies list.
3. Click the icon of the technology to be validated and select Assessment of the Technology > Define the technology as Accepted.
The Expected command also validates the technology, but in a more pronounced way, since it specifies that it is an expectation.
Company standard (calculated)
The Company standard attribute indicates the organization policy regarding the usage of a technology or technologies of a vendor. This attribute, visible in the technology characteristics, is modified depending on the validation workflow.
It can take the following values:
• Approved
• 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 ask the local correspondent to validate a technology. To do so, a local correspondent must have been specified in the technology's properties.
Outside the workflow he/she can also request financial validation from the Financial Controller responsible for this technology.
