Require approval for changing tasks

During times when changes to tasks carry a high risk, task administrators can prevent users' changes from taking effect until the administrator approves them.

Requiring change approval keeps you informed about changes to task status, dates, dependencies, and other changes that can affect the project plan.

You can select the fields for which you want require change approval. Whenever a user makes a change to a field for which change approval is required, the change request is placed in the Change Requests section of the Task Summary page, with a link in the Items Pending My Approval section of each task administrator's My Page.

Note: Changes made by task administrators do not require approval.
  1. Click PROJECT ADMIN from the Project Home menu.
  2. On the Project Admin Menu, click Task Manager Settings.
  3. Click the CHANGE APPROVAL tab.
  4. Select the fields for which you want to require change approval.
  5. Click Save.
Change approval is now in force for all future changes made to the selected fields.
