If a change proposal is part of a master group, it must
be reviewed alongside the other change proposals in the group. After
you have considered all the change proposals in the group, you set
the status of the group accordingly. All the change proposals in the
group inherit their status from the group. If a change proposal is
part of a subordinate group, you can review it alongside the other
change proposals in the group, but you must set the status of each
change proposal individually.
Procedure
- In the database explorer, select the project or folder
that contains the group you want to review.
- Click .
- Select the group you want to review from the list, and
click Review. The Review
Group window shows a list of the modules that contain change
proposals that are part of the group. You review the change proposals
module by module.

the group has been applied.

the current module, and are not members of any groups:

to add to the group.
- In the Review Grouped CPs in module window,
select Current CP, Selected CP or CPs

group. If a change proposal you have selected to add is already a
member of a group, a message stating No CPs to process is
displayed.

click Review. The Review
Change Proposals window is displayed.

the object to activate it. The OLE object can be opened read-only
in the Current pane of the Review form for comparison.

changes as redlining. Deletions are shown as red text
with strikethrough, and insertions as blue text with underlining.

The change proposal is no longer associated with the group. If it
was a subordinate change proposal, the Status list
becomes available.

and you want to change the status of a proposal that is a member of
a subordinate group to reflect the outcome of the review:

status agreed by the change proposal review team.
- Optional: In the Reviewers' comments box,
type any comments the team wants to make about its decision.

a new Group status from the list.

Group window. The status that you set there is inherited
by all the change proposals that are member of the group.
