Review and execute a change

Follow evidence, approval, execution outcome, and history in order.

A review is not an execution

The maintenance-exception workflow is Factivum's first governed-action reference. A case joins context, source evidence, an optional scenario, a proposed change, permission and policy checks, review decisions, execution outcome, and history.

Synthetic cases demonstrate the interface and cannot perform governed commands. A server-backed case may offer commands only when current permission, policy, evidence, version, and approval checks pass. This workflow has not been production verified.

Operator sequence

  1. Open a case and confirm target asset, workspace, source evidence, and freshness.
  2. Inspect the exact before and after values in the proposed change.
  3. Submit for review when offered. An approval records a decision about that exact proposal; it does not execute it.
  4. Execute only when the case shows the required authorization and a ready action. Inspect the returned outcome and history.

If facts change

  • A changed proposal or stale evidence can invalidate earlier approval. Refresh evidence and obtain a new review.
  • An unknown execution outcome requires reconciliation. Do not assume success or retry blindly.
  • Permission denied means the case remains readable only within your access; request the missing role instead of switching workspaces to bypass the guard.
