The Review & Release feature allows teams to control configuration changes by requiring an approval before changes go live.
Workflow Overview
1. Make Changes: A user makes configuration changes in the Admin Interface (for example DPS, categories, or scanner settings). These changes are saved as a draft.
2. Request Review: When the user finishes the changes, they click 'Request Review'. The selected reviewer receives an email notification asking them to review the changes.
3. Review Pending: Once the review is requested, the configuration becomes locked. The dashboard shows the status 'Review Pending' and users cannot make further edits.
4. Reviewer Decision: The reviewer checks the changes and can either approve or reject them.
5. Approval: If the reviewer approves the changes, the configuration becomes live.
6. Rejection: If the reviewer rejects the changes, they return to draft status and can be updated and submitted again.
FAQ – Customer Questions
Can multiple changes from different users be combined into one approval request?
- Currently this is not supported. Each submission creates a separate approval request and email notification.
Can Custom DPS be set to 'Keep updated to latest version' but only go live after approval?
- This is currently not supported. DPS version updates follow their own update process and are not controlled by the Review & Release approval step.
What happens if multiple users make changes at the same time?
- If different users create drafts based on different versions, approving one version does not automatically include all other changes.
