Managing CR Actions

Formally track follow-up activities within a Change Request (CR) so all work is visible, auditable, and completed before the CR is closed.

Who Is This For?

  • CR Owners / Editors – creating and planning CR Actions

  • Assignees – completing assigned CR Actions on time

  • QA / Change Managers – overseeing traceability and compliance within CRs

How to Do It?

Step 1: Create a CR Action

  1. Go to Change Requests from the sidebar.

  2. Select the desired Change Request.

  3. In the document page, go to the Actions tab.

  4. Select Add Action.

  5. Fill in the required properties and click Create.

Assignee(s)

One user responsible person for the action

Requires Signature

Enable this option to require the user to provide an electronic signature after the action is completed.

💡 Keep action titles outcome-based (e.g., “Update SOP-123 formatting to new template”).


Step 2: Mark a CR Action as Completed (Assignee)

You can complete actions from My Work or directly in the Change Request.

Option 1 – From My Work Dashboard

  1. Go to Home → My Work Dashboard.

  2. Find your action (use in-list search or sorting to simplify the search).

  3. Select the action → Mark as Completed in the properties card.

  4. If Requires Signature is enabled, provide your e-signature to confirm completion.

Option 2 – From the Change Request

  1. Go to Change Requests from the sidebar.

  2. Select the desired Change Request.

  3. In the document page, go to the Actions tab and select the action.

  4. Click Mark as Completed.

  5. If prompted, provide your e-signature.


Tips

  • 💡 Link the related document whenever the action concerns a specific record—this improves traceability in audits.

  • 💡 Prefer one clear outcome per action to make tracking and CR closure smoother.

  • 💡 If the task isn’t related to a CR, use a ToDo instead for quick personal reminders
