Review a Change Request

If you are a stakeholder in a change request process, you can provide your inputs for creating or modifying an Axon object. Your role in the change request is determined by the workflow that the Axon Admin or SuperAdmin assigns to the object. Review the change requests assigned to you and provide your inputs.
For more information on workflows, see Use Workflows.
    1. Open the object with a change request that you want to review.
    The object is in the Running state.
    2. In the Change tab of the object, click the Change Request sub-tab.
    The page displays the list of objects for which you have change requests.
    3. Click an Axon object in the list to open the object.
    The object opens in a new window, and the Summary tab is displayed by default.
    4. Verify the information in the Changes to Review section. The Changes to Review section displays the changes that stakeholders have made to the object during the lifecycle of the change request.
    Note: The Changes to Review section is displayed for change requests that are in progress. If a stakeholder completes or cancels a change request, the Changes to Review section does not appear.
    5. Review your role in the workflow, and provide your inputs on the Axon object. For example, if the change request requires that you start a workflow, you might have to scroll down to the Workflow section of the page and click Start. If you are participating in a workflow that is started by another user, you might have to click Approve.
    Note: You can see the View Original and Viewing Changes views for the objects if you are a stakeholder of the object, a user with edit permission for all objects, the Axon Admin, or the Axon SuperAdmin user.
    If the Summary tab of the object is under revision, the top of the page displays the status of the object. You can see whether the page displays the original version or modified version of the object.
    You cannot see changes in the Viewing Changes view for the following sections:
    If you modify the Stakeholders section and select Viewing Changes view, the Stakeholder Community (Based on Previous State) section displays the stakeholders before the change request was started.
    If you modify the object hierarchy and select the Viewing Changes view, the Hierarchy (Based on Previous State) section displays the object hierarchy before the change request was started. Complete the workflow to see the updated hierarchy.
    6. To complete the workflow, click Complete in the Classifications section of the page.
    Note: A person with the Requestor role cannot complete a workflow.
    If a SuperAdmin user has configured auto-completion of change requests, Axon automatically marks the change request as complete when the object reaches the end of the workflow.
If you have new Attribute objects that are in the middle of a workflow process, Axon does not assign reference numbers to the objects. When you go to the Attributes tab of the related data set, the Ref column for the Attribute objects do not display any value. In such cases, you cannot bulk update the objects. After the workflow is complete, Axon assigns reference numbers to the objects, and you can then bulk update the Attribute objects.
If you move attributes from one data set to the another data set, the change request is created for the second data set for the following conditions:
