AI summary

Monitor active review schedules through their detail pages, where you can see cycle status, completion metrics, and automations. On each cycle detail page, view all workspaces being reviewed, filter the object review grid by status or decision, and export the data. Use the decision metrics and completion rates to understand how many reviewers participated, what decisions they made, and the governance impact of the reviews.

Once a review schedule is active and its cycles are running, follow their progress, inspect single object reviews and take admin actions in Rencore Governance.

Before you begin

  • Your Rencore role includes the Read Review permission. Owner, Admin, Contributor and Reader have it. Editing, cloning, triggering or deleting a schedule needs the matching Review permission, which Owner, Admin and Contributor have. See Rencore roles.
  • Reviews are part of the Premium and Enterprise Plans.
  • You have an active review schedule. See Create a review.

  2. Click the title of a review schedule. Its detail page opens with the header controls (01), the Summary card (02), the Metrics card (03), the Automations card (04) and the cycle grid (05).

Read the results

After a cycle finishes, use the decision metrics and the object review grid to assess the results:

  • A high Unreviewed count means many reviewers did not act before the due date. Consider a longer review duration, better notification emails or reminder communications.
  • A high Rejected count means reviewers decline because they feel they are not the right person. Check your reviewer assignment or the workspace ownership.
  • Custom action usage shows how often reviewers use actions like Archive or Delete, which is the real governance impact of your reviews.

Frequently asked questions

Which permission do I need to monitor reviews in Rencore Governance?

You need the Read Review permission, which Owner, Admin, Contributor and Reader roles have. Editing, cloning, triggering or deleting a schedule needs the matching Review permission, which Owner, Admin and Contributor have.

What do the review cycle statuses aggregating, ongoing, finished and canceled mean?

Aggregating means the system is identifying matching workspaces and creating object reviews, which typically takes a few minutes. Ongoing means reviewers are working on their reviews. Finished means the due date has passed and all object reviews are closed. Canceled means an admin stopped the cycle.

How can I find all workspaces marked for deletion in a review cycle?

Open the cycle detail page and use the column filter on Decision in the object review grid. You can also filter by Status to see which reviews are still in progress.

What does a high unreviewed count in a finished cycle tell me?

A high Unreviewed count means many reviewers did not act before the due date. Consider a longer review duration, better notification emails or reminder communications.

Which actions are available in the ellipsis menu of a review schedule?

The ellipsis menu offers Edit, Clone, Trigger and Delete. Trigger is available for manual reviews only.
