Review Projects 101

A Review Project in PHENOM is a temporary merge workspace merge created during the Push, Pull, and Approve Process. The objectives of a Review Project are to:

• Allow data modeling prior to finalizing the merge
• Facilitate a thorough review of incoming changes
• Provide additional features to aid the review process

Review Project Management

To learn about the creation of Review Projects, view the Push, Pull, and Approve Process.

When in PHENOM > Manage Models > Projects, the user can see the Review Projects they have access to under the destination Project. Expand the destination project in the Project Tree, and then expand the Review Projects folder.

Viewing the Review Projects folder. (Only exists if a Review Project exists)

To view the corresponding merge request for your Review Project, simply select the Review Project from the Project Tree. The user can also access the the related Review Project for a merge request on the pull or approve page where the Review Project was initiated.

Note that Review Projects cannot be copied or published.

Selecting the Review Project and viewing the associated Merge Request.

Project Locking

When initiating a Review Project from either the pull or approve page, users have the option to secure the destination project by selecting 'Lock Current Project During Review'. This lock ensures that no changes can be made to the model while it's under review. Once the merge is ready to be finalized, the project lock can be removed. Multiple Review Projects can exist simultaneously so it is important for the user to manage the single lock on the destination project during review.

Note that while Project locking is optional, it is encouraged to use the Project lock to prevent external changes being made to the destination Project during review.
