Hey there,

ClearPoint Strategy is proud to unveil a game-changing addition to our platform—Approval Workflows! This innovative feature is meticulously crafted to provide comprehensive oversight and meticulous control over edits, updates, additions, and deletions within your ClearPoint Strategy environment.

🛡️ Elevate Control and Oversight: Introducing Approval Workflows

Approval Workflows introduce a robust mechanism for managing changes within ClearPoint Strategy, offering administrators the ability to configure detailed approval processes at the scorecard level. This ensures that every modification undergoes rigorous scrutiny before being finalized, safeguarding data integrity and compliance with organizational standards.

Configurable Approval Process

  • Scorecard-Level Configuration: Admins can define specific actions requiring approval—such as updates, edits, additions, and deletions—directly within the scorecard settings, enhancing flexibility and precision.
  • Require Approvals Checkbox: By enabling this feature, administrators unlock granular control over which changes necessitate approval, ensuring only authorized modifications are implemented.
  • Designate Scorecard Owner: Designate a singular Scorecard Owner responsible for overseeing and approving all changes, ensuring clarity and accountability in the approval process.
  • Collaborator Permissions: Extend approval authority to multiple collaborators, granting them the ability to either approve changes or make edits without prior approval, fostering collaborative workflows.

Streamlined Workflow Management

Approval Workflows streamline the change management process with intuitive features that enhance user experience and efficiency:

  • Real-time Alerts: Receive immediate notifications within edit modals and inline edits, prompting users to seek approval before changes are applied, minimizing errors and ensuring compliance.
  • Pending Status: Modifications awaiting approval are clearly marked with a 'Pending' status on the Manage Elements page, preventing unauthorized alterations until approval is granted.
  • Cancellation Options: Users retain flexibility with the ability to cancel pending changes directly from the Manage Elements page or the element's detail view, maintaining agility without compromising control.

Centralized Approval Management

Upon activation, Approval Workflows centralize approval-related activities through the dedicated 'My Approvals' page under the My ClearPoint tab, offering users a consolidated view of pending actions:

  • My Approvals Section: Scorecard owners and designated collaborators access a comprehensive overview of pending changes, complete with detailed element information and approval status indicators.
  • My Changes Section: Users initiating modifications requiring approval can effortlessly track their submissions, ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the approval lifecycle.
