Validating a Technology
Directly on a technology
To validate a Technology:
1. Click the Technologies navigation menu.
2. Display the list of technologies.
The list of technologies to be validated appears in the edit area.
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.
