Review and approval

Introduction

The Review process ensures that all changes to the business architecture domain data are thoroughly vetted and validated before becoming part of the official record. This process is crucial for maintaining the integrity and accuracy of your organization's data. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to use the process effectively.

It uses a structured workflow involving multiple roles within your organization. Each change submitted to the system is automatically queued for review and approval. This ensures that data modifications are evaluated by the appropriate personnel before they are finalized.
