Functional Area
Functional Areas (FA) help to define hierarchical conditions or scopes for an Approval Process or a Certification Manager process. Approvers or Reviewers are dynamically derived when an FA is used for a approval process,a job position, or a provision. 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.
Note: FAs can be created for risk assessment by uploading objects
through Data import. See, Data Import.
