Change Manager Reports

Change Manager reports return data about Issues that match the Change Manager criteria. Only Issues that are part of a Change Manager workflow are included in the Change Manager Reports. The report can include:

Any or all fields from the Issues
Voting history, including individual votes and final decisions for the Issue
The Change Manager criteria, i.e., the criteria used to place an Issue into the Change Manager process
Links to the Issues
Other data that you choose when configuring the report.

The information returned by these reports can help you determine how well your Change Manager process is performing, whether approvers are voting on Issues in a timely manner, which approvers are not responding in a timely manner or at all, and so on.

Obviously, to generate meaningful Change Manager reports, you must have the FootPrints Change Manager add-on module installed and Change Manager processes and phases configured.

Users should be aware that they cannot necessarily see Change Manager Issues that they have approved or that are awaiting their approval unless they are also assigned to the Issue. This is because what is seen in a Change Manager report is governed by one set of role permissions, but permission to run the reports may be governed by a different role permission.
