Configuring the approval process for CI configurations


In the Mid Tier  interface, configure the default criteria for approving configurations. If the BMC Helix ITSM: Change Management application is installed, the application creates a change request for the configuration and sends a notification. Otherwise, the application sends the notification.

For example, if you define the approval process for company A on this form, when you create a configuration from the Manage Configurations link in the BMC Helix ITSM: Asset Management application for company A, the application sends the request for approval to the group or individual specified to approve configurations for that company.
