Evidence approval checks are set up on evidence. They provide an extra step in the evidence change process to ensure that the changes are correct. When an evidence approval check applies to an evidence change, the case supervisor must approve or reject the change.
The evidence descriptor approval request entity and the evidence approval check entity are used to store information relating to evidence approval checks. The evidence descriptor approval request entity is linked to the evidence descriptor entity. It is used to indicate whether or not an evidence descriptor record is pending approval. The evidence approval check entity is part of the administration manager. It is used to maintain configuration details for approval check functionality.
The following table describes each of the attributes in the evidence approval check entity:
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
Evidence Approval Check ID | Unique identifier of the evidence approval check record. This is the primary key used to identify the evidence approval check record in the system. |
Organization Unit ID | Identifier of the organization unit to which the evidence approval check percentage applies. This is only relevant for evidence approval checks set up for an organization unit. |
Username | Username of the user to whom the evidence approval check percentage applies. This is only relevant for evidence approval checks set up for a user. |
