The Focal Entity of a Reviewer

In most review nodes, a link between two entities is under review. The product must know which of the two entities to reference when it searches for a reviewer. The product must also know how to present the link to the reviewer.

Example: Reviewers with Different Focal Entities

A standard change approval node submits a requested user-resource link for review to the following two reviewers:

• The user of the link under review is the focal entity for one reviewer. To select this reviewer, the product matches attributes of the user to a member list, or searches the RACI configuration for the manager of the user under review.
• The resource of the link is the focal entity for the other reviewer. To select this reviewer, the product matches attributes of the resource to a member list, or searches the RACI configuration for the manager of the resource under review.
