Opening a Review Item<\/h2>\n

When you have items to review in Cradle you are presented with a list. Your review process is meant to be more than just a tick box exercise. You’ll want to see the item to review. Selecting an item from the list will give a summary of the current review status in the bottom of the dialog. Clicking the ‘View’<\/em> button will open the item in a form so its full details can be seen.<\/p>\n

Approve or Reject<\/h3>\n

The next stage is to Approve or Reject the item. When the ‘Approve’<\/em> or ‘Reject’<\/em> buttons are pressed users are given an option to add a review comment. Your project can also be set to enforce comments, see Mandatory Comments<\/em> in the project Miscellaneous<\/em> section<\/a>. If there are a number of reviewers, and possibly a review acceptance meeting, it is possible to change this decision up to the point that the item is Registered<\/em>. That means there is no problem if you initially reject something, but after clarification need to alter your decision to approve, or visa-versa.<\/p>\n

More Detailed Comments<\/h3>\n

Whilst each Cradle item is ideally fairly atomic, a requirement that\u00a0 says ‘shall do this and this and this’<\/em>, is much harder to verify or alter,\u00a0 some can be quite complex. A single comment as a reason to reject an item may not be enough, it may also be that you would welcome further debate from the other reviewers. Discussions<\/a> can be used to add annotations to an item and can build a conversation trail.<\/p>\n
