Anne, Just to get a better idea, what DO you want for the No Impact? If there are no approvals, you can create an approval process with a system approval that just "auto approves" it. In our environment, we don't even use that timing so I removed it (or you can use workflow). I also believe that if you select different timings OOB, certain workflow fires. For example, selecting Latent, prompts a note that reads that once submitted, the change will go straight from Draft to Completed. So really, we only have approvals for Emergency, Normal, and Expedited. Hope this leads you in the right direction.

Sr. Analyst Office: 631.858.7765 From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ramey, Anne Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 3:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Change approval question ** I was wondering if anyone here might have an answer to this one: We want to have approvals for a given product categorization for all timing values except No Impact. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this with ITSM 7.0.03 without creating approval rules for that product categorization for every other timing value (ie. 4 rules for each categorization) or custom workflow? From what I can tell, if a rule exists with just the product categorization in it, those approvers get added for all timings and there is no way to remove them or specify an exclusion. Perhaps creating entirely different approval process phases for No Impact changes? Does anyone else have this working?
