which you want to approve or reject the data that has already been reviewed by
the person responsible for it (see figure below).This topic explains how to approve or reject business component data that has been reviewed by the person responsible for it. When a business component revision is initiated, the person responsible for it reviews the information on it and, when finished, confirms it. If no approvers were assigned, the Impact Score is calculated and the data is confirmed. Otherwise, the first approver assigned will automatically receive a notification e-mail indicating that the data has been checked by the person responsible for the business component and that it must now be approved. This e-mail is sent through a workflow rule entitled "Continuity – Business Component Data Approved". This workflow rule is created with the installation of the Continuity module and should not be disabled, otherwise the notification e-mail will not be sent.
Once the first approver in the list approves the data, the process continues for the next approver and the next, and so on. Only when the last reviewer on the list approves the data will it be confirmed and the Impact Score be calculated.
If any of the approvers on the list reject the data, a notification e-mail is sent through a workflow rule entitled "Continuity – Business Component Data Not Approved" to both the person who requested the review as well as to the person responsible for the business component. No Impact Score will be calculated and a new revision must be initiated for the business impact analysis for that component to be completed.
Note that by default the Impact Score is calculated by taking the highest value of each type of impact in the Table of Impacts and averaging these values.
