For Internal Approvers
As an Internal Approver (IA), you can review and approve / reject the IA re-assignment request(s). An IA re-assignment request is created when a Data Request owner or the CDO Team requests for you to be the new Internal Approver of a data request.
You will not be the IA of a Data Request until you have accepted the IA re-assignment request.
Notification of IA Re-assignment Requests
When there is an IA re-assignment request initiated that is pending your review, you will receive an email notification containing the Data Request IDs and the requestor of the IA re-assignment.
Within the email, there will be a link to the IA Re-assignment tab of the Approvals page, where you can review the IA re-assignment.
