Process Parameters for Default Reviewers

Standard Workpoint processes that include review nodes declare process-level parameters for default reviewers. When CA GovernanceMinder initiates a Workpoint job, it populates these parameters with names based on user settings (such as options in the certification template wizard) or defaults. All nodes in the process can use these parameters to reference the specified default reviewer.

In processes that add or remove a link, a single default reviewer is specified.

In certification processes, one default reviewer is specified for initial certification, and two default reviewers are specified for change approvals, one for each entity in the link under review.

Note: In certification processes that handle links between parent and child roles, only one default reviewer is specified for approval of changes.

You can use any of these parameters to specify a default reviewer for any certification or change approval action. However, the default reviewer associated with one entity may not be knowledgeable or appropriate for other review actions.

The following process-level parameters receive default reviewer values from CA GovernanceMinder:

flow.defaultManager

Defines the default reviewer for initial certification in a certification. This parameter takes its value from the Workflow.defaultManager CA GovernanceMinder system property.

flow.userApproval.portalUser.defaultManager

Defines the default reviewer for approval of changes to a user in a certification.

flow.roleApproval.portalUser.defaultManager

Defines the default reviewer for approval of changes to a role in a certification.

flow.resourceApproval.portalUser.defaultManager

Defines the default reviewer for approval of changes to a role in a certification.

system.approval.defaultManager

Defines the default reviewer in general processes to add or remove links. This parameter takes its value from the approval.defaultManager CA GovernanceMinder system property.
