A person with a full-function account can review and approve change forms on behalf of a group (identified in the Groups collection).

Before the change form is routed for review, you can add and delete reviewing groups to the approval list. You can also specify the sequence in which the reviewers are notified and whether the reviewing group's participation is required or optional.

Authorized reviewers examine a routed change form. A reviewer can never sign on behalf of a different reviewer, or undo a signed change form if a subsequent reviewer has acted on it or the change is no longer in theRouted lifecycle state.

Order

The review sequence determines the sequence that reviewing groups are notified of the routed change. You can have several groups with the same review order value. All groups that share the same review order are notified at the same time.

Group

Specify the group that reviews the change.

Participation

Specify whether the reviewing group is required — Must act — to approve the change. If the group's response is optional — Can act —, the change will simultaneously notify the next group in sequence while waiting for the group's response.
