Submit a Requirement Draft for Approval

You can submit a requirement for approval from the Requirement Detail page.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the detail page for the requirement draft.
2. Review the draft, and when it is ready for approval, click Submit for Approval.

   The Submitting for Approval pop-up dialog opens.

3. Select one of the following Version Type options:

   Minor

   Specifies that the updates are small changes, such as editorial changes or field changes such as entering the Actual Effort. The version changes by one point (0.1).

   Major

   Specifies that the updates are significant, such as changing the release associated with the requirement, changing the scope of the requirement, increasing the complexity of the requirement. The version changes by one full version number (1.0).

4. Click Submit.

   Scroll to the Approval History section. An entry has been added for the approval request, showing that the draft has been submitted and the status is Pending, while waiting for approval.

   The product owner, and any other reviewers, receive an email notification about the request.

If the approver approves the requirement, the version number increases and the status changes in the Approval History table to either Approved. A new row is added In the Versions table.

If the approver rejects the requirement, the requirement remains in draft status without a change in the version number.
