Change(s) Required

Developers can access activity review comments (from Reviewers, Review Managers and/or Approval Authorities) by clicking Change(s) Required from the Review/Approval menu at the top of the screen. The number of comments assigned to the activity is shown to the right. These comments are used to make further content development changes.

2.	The Change(s) Required screen opens in a new browser window, displaying a list of comments. These are arranged according to the version number of the lesson to which they refer. You can hide or show the following columns by selecting them from the drop-down list.

3.	Check Include All Activity Versions to see changes from previous versions of the activity.

4.	In the Changes Required window, you will see all of the columns you chose from the drop-down list, along with a description of the Change required. Comments are shown truncated, but can be expanded by clicking the Expand/Collapse Comment and Response icon on the left of each row.

5.	Click the link in the Scope column (e.g. T4/S4) to open that screen in the LCMS viewer. Hover your mouse over the Scope values to see the Topic Name and Screen Title (if enabled).

6. Click a comment in the Change column to open a separate window with details on the change required. The information provided for each comment (made by the Reviewer/Approver) includes: the Change ID, Author, Date, Scope, Screen, Style ID, Screen No., Screen Title and Topic. Note: The Style ID, Screen Number, Screen Title and Topic Title are only displayed in comments that were made for a particular screen from within the activity.

7. Enter a response to the comment in the Change Response field, then select a value from the Modify Status drop-down (default is "Pending" but can be changed to "Resolved", "Input Required" or "No Action"). You may also modify priority by selecting Minor, Normal, Major or Critical from the Modify Priority drop-down, select or deselect tags, and modify the category. Previous and Next buttons are provided at the top of the window to allow you to navigate through the comments. To save the comment responses automatically, set the Save on nav toggle button to ON.

Note: Changes are only saved by clicking Submit. Using Previous or Next will not save a change response or status modification. If you do not click Submit before moving on, you will receive a prompt (see below).

Note: The Jump to Screen button takes you to the LCMS screen associated with that comment.

9. If you selected Tracking from the drop-down list on the main Changes Required screen, you will see an Update Tracking toggle ON/OFF button at the top of each individual Changes Required window. Set Update Tracking to ON to enable tracking checkmarks that can be toggled on and off by Developers to help them track which changes have been dealt with.

Note: These checkmarks only remain selected (green) for that session. Once you close the Changes Required screen, they automatically become deselected.

Note: If there is an attachment to the review comment, it is indicated under the attachment (paperclip) icon.

Note: Details of Changes Required for a specific screen are also available by clicking the Changes Required button when editing the screen, or via the properties screen of a question screen.
