How to Define a Subset of Reviewers

You can activate a subset of the reviewers you defined. You can create a node with a general set of reviewers, but use different reviewers in each instance of the node, or in different jobs.

Use the following node data field to define a subset of reviewers:

useApprovers

Defines a subset of reviewers that participate in the review actions of the node. This field contains a comma-separated list of numbers that identify reviewers by their position in the set of reviewers. This value corresponds to the position of each reviewer in the table displayed in the Building Block tab, and to the position of each reviewer in the string data fields that define the matrix parametrically.

Example: A Subset of Reviewers

A set of five reviewers is defined. The useApprovers field is defined as follows:

useApprovers=1,3,5

The first, third, and fifth reviewers participate in the review. CA GovernanceMinder ignores the second and fourth reviewer definitions.

Note: When you define automatic approval filters, weighted approval criteria, or a subset of reviewers, the resulting logic can force the node to approve or reject the link under review in all cases. This forced response invalidates the purpose of the review node. Check the likely result when you apply these options to a set of reviewers.
