The **Process Owner** can define the goal, end date, participants and owners for each **review** of an approval process.

## Prerequisites [#voraussetzungen]

You are a **Process Owner**.

You are on the process page of an imported or submitted process version (revision) for which the approval process has been started.

## Context [#zusammenhang]

When creating a review, the **Process Owner** defines the goal, end date, participants and owners of the review. These definitions must be made in full.

The description should inform all **Review Participants** about the goal and focal points of the review.

The end date of the review is for information purposes only and has no automatic effect.

Participants are notified automatically. They can submit comments (feedback) on the entire process or on individual process elements, as well as a final evaluation of the process version.

The **Process Owner** is automatically assigned as **Review Owner**. If required, an additional or different **Review Owner** can be defined.

Note: If an approval process provides for several consecutive reviews, the next review can only be created once the previous one has been completed with an approval. The search field and the **Only selected** check box appear if there are more than ten entries.

## How to proceed [#so-gehst-du-vor]

1. If you are on a different tab of the process page, click the **Overview** tab.

   The page content of the tab is displayed.
2. To define the review settings, click ⋮ **Create review**.

   The **Create review for process** dialog appears.
3. Enter a description of the goal and focal points of the review.
4. Click in the date field and set the end date of the review in the calendar dialog, or click one of the period buttons.
5. To add or remove participants, click the edit icon.

   The dialog of the same name appears.
6. To search for a user by name or e-mail address, enter a corresponding character string in the search field.

   The list is restricted to the matching entries.
7. To define a user as a Review Participant, select the check box.
8. To display all current **Review Participants**, select the **Only selected** check box.

   The current **Review Participants** are displayed.
9. To confirm the current **Review Participants**, click **Apply selection**.

   The applied **Review Participants** are listed.
10. To add or remove **Review Owners**, proceed as described above.

    The applied **Review Owners** are listed.
11. To confirm the definitions, click **Start review**.

    If your definitions make you a **Review Participant** or **Review Owner**, the **review area** opens next to the process page; otherwise, a message about missing rights appears and you can return to the process page with **Back**.

    All participants and owners are notified of their assignment to the review.
