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. |
| Position ID | Identifier of the position to which the evidence approval check percentage applies. This is only relevant for evidence approval checks set up for a position. |
| Evidence Type | Type of evidence to which the evidence approval check percentage applies. |
| Approval Type | Type of evidence approval check, i.e., organization, position, user, and/or evidence type. |
| Percentage | The percentage of evidence changes that the case supervisor must approve or reject. This percentage is applied according to the evidence approval type. For example, if the approval type is an evidence type, such as income evidence, then 60 percent of all income evidence must be approved by a case supervisor before it is activated. |
| Comments | User comments on the evidence approval check record. |
| Record Status | Status of the evidence approval check record. This status is active unless the evidence metadata record has been deleted, in which case the status is canceled. |
