This page enables you to display a view in the actual state and select the changes that you want to authorize.

To access	Select Changes > Review/Authorize.
Important information	The Review/Authorize page includes the following panes: Composite CIs. Displays a list of CIs in the view with icons indicating the types of changes that occurred for each CI between the actual and authorized states. Topology. Displays a topology map of the CIs in the view with icons indicating the types of changes that occurred for each CI between the actual and authorized states. Each node in the topology map displays the name, CI type, and management status, as well as the change type and current and previous policy status, where relevant. Note In inventory mode, the Topology pane is called Related CIs. Comparison Details. Displays details of the changes for the selected CI. Click the relevant tab to view the change details for the selected CI. Filter. In inventory mode, the Filter pane enables you to filter the composite CI list. For details, see Filter Pane. Select the changes to authorize by clicking the check boxes next to the relevant CIs in the Composite CIs pane.

Comparison Details Pane

Important information

When you select a CI in the Composite CIs pane or the Topology pane, the tabs that contain data for that CI are marked with an asterisk (*).

User interface elements are described below:

UI Elements (A-Z)	Description
Changed Attributes tab	The left pane displays the CI name and the change type icon. For composite CIs, the component CIs with changed attributes are displayed. The right pane displays the attribute names and actual and authorized values for the CI selected in the left pane.
Changed Outgoing Relationships tab	The left pane displays the CIs to which the selected CI is related by an outgoing relationship. Click the arrow to expand each entry and display the relationships of the component CIs. For each relationship, the relationship type is displayed and an icon indicates the relevant type of change. The right pane displays the source, target, and direction for the relationship selected in the left pane.
Policy Details tab	In the Policy List pane, the following data is displayed for each policy rule: the policy rule name the external product, if any, that is the source of the policy. the rule status in the actual state the rule status in the authorized state the related CI The Details pane displays the details for the policy rule selected in the Policy List pane, including the rule name, description, type, and validation dates. Note The status bar does not appear for federated policies that contain CIs in the authorized state.
Related RFCs tab	The left pane displays the RFC IDs that were correlated to the selected CI during the offline analysis process or that were manually attached by the user, as well as the title and relation type. The right pane displays the properties for the RFC ID selected in the left pane. Note When the offline process runs, it discovers only the following RFCs for the CIs in a view: having a state that is specified in the Fetched RFC Criteria settings with a planned start date is later than today minus X days (as defined in the settings) with a planned end date earlier than today. Therefore, if an RFC is attached to multiple CIs, not all of the CIs may be shown as connected to the RFC if they do not match these criteria.
