Change Request Resolutions

The Resolution table contains the resolutions applied to Change Requests. Resolutions are selected by the change request owner prior to closing a change request if no further action is needed (no Change Order needed). The resolution identifies the justification as to why no further action is needed on the request. Once a resolution is assigned to the change request; the status of the change request changes to CLOSED.

Change requests can be re-opened once resolutions are assigned as long as the user has appropriate rights. The user must also justify why the change request is being reopened.

The system comes with the following default resolutions which cannot be renamed or deleted from the global organization:

Default Resolution

Description

Attached to Change Order

As soon as a Change Order is created or attached to the request the Resolution field automatically defaults to this value in the Change Request record.

 

Auto Closed

This resolution can be used to manually close a Change Request; however, most customers will create their own standard list of resolutions.

 

TBD (To Be Determined)

This default resolution will display in any Change Request that has a Status of OPEN or INWORKS.

 

 

 User Rights

The following rights must be assigned to a user to manage or view change request resolutions:

Rights

Description

CXR_MANAGE

Allows administrator to add new change request resolutions, modify existing resolutions, or delete resolutions.

 

CXR_VIEW

Allows user to access the change request resolution to view and select.

 

 

Please see Rights Groups to assign Rights Groups to users
