 Confirmation

Definition

Activity category that groups together the confirmation requests for a topic.

Use

The succession planner uses the activities in the Confirmation category to obtain and manage confirmations from people. To do this, the succession planner sends individual confirmations to the relevant persons. Based on the confirmations that are stored in the individual confirmations, the succession planner can obtain a total overview and thus render and store a total result.

Structure

A confirmation activity consists of a total confirmation and individual confirmations. The total confirmation provides the framework to group together the individual confirmations. The total confirmation and the individual confirmations are depicted using activities.

Total Confirmation

In the Confirmation category, the Total Confirmation of the activity consists of the following tab pages:

The tab page contains the following information:

Reason for Decision
