Approved Symbols and Messages

An object is unapproved if it has never been approved or if revised data on the product, classification, or images & documents in the current context is not approved.

For example:

• An object has never been approved.
• Revised data has been changed in current context without being approved. Revised data includes attribute values, references, object names, or tables.

Examples of changes to revised data include:

• A change in object name.
• A changed value on an internally maintained attribute.
• If an attribute has been linked to a product.
• If reference links to objects have been made.

Note: When linking a product to classification and in case the classification object type owns the product links, then the product does not get the Unapproved symbol. For more information, refer to the Object Types and Structures topic in the System Setup documentation.

Revised data on product, classification, or images & documents is approved in all contexts.

Note: No data in any context needs to be approved.

Revised data has been approved and then subsequently changed.

Revised data has been approved in current context but a reference, object name, or value needs to be approved for the object to be approved in all contexts.

If you view another context, then you typically notice that:

• A dimension dependent reference is not approved.
• A dimension dependent value is not approved.
• A dimension dependent object name is not approved.

When all the dimension dependent references, attribute values, and object names have been approved, the symbol changes from yellow Partial Approved symbol to a green Approved symbol.
