Statuses

      • Issues contain four main statuses: Potential, Invalid, Open, and Resolved. Issues start out in a Potential status and move towards either an Open (Valid) or Invalid status. From an Open status, issues move towards a final state of Resolved.  

External Q&A

      • The issue owners for Client Connect and Vendor Connect can communicate with each other about the issue through Q&A. Modeling a Question and Answer format, messages can be nested within each other to have focused conversations on a question or clarifying assumption. 

Management Updates

      • Management Updates are used to update Partners on an Issue. When publishing a Management Update, users can mark the Issue as Complete to inform the client that the Issue needs to be reviewed. 

Internal Collaboration

      • Users with existing access to an issue can invite other internal users to view and collaborate on the issue. QA.png
