Functional Area

Functional Areas (FA) helps to define an Approver or Reviewer for an Approval Process or a Certification Manager process. Approvers or Reviewers are dynamically resolved if an FA is used for a process or a provision. The FA definition can be hierarchical. The leaf node of the hierarchy contains the Approvers for a process.

Functional Areas ensure that the provisions or processes are routed to the correct approvers or reviewers. This removes the limitation of hard coding approvers or reviewers.

Functional Areas can also be used for Emergency Access Provision for Authorizations Insight.
